My most treasured possessionWhat's your most treasured possession? What would you rescue from a fire (be it for sentimental or purely financial reasons)?
My Great-Uncle left me his visitors book which along with boring people like the Queen and Harold Wilson has Spike Milligan's signature in it. It's all loopy.
Either that or my Grandfather's swords.

Ok, not just oneOne of my most treasured possession would be memories.
Specifically of my Dad - I've posted about him before and the saddest thing in the world for me is that I don't have many memories of him.
In my mind are about a dozen memories that I have left of him - These include running up to him at the end of term time when he picked us up from boarding school and getting a big kiss and huge cuddle, him driving me home from school talking about nothing, to name but two.
The one that I have that is my most treasured is of him dropping me off at school for the last time, kissing him and cuddling him and watching him drive off. It makes me sad sometimes as I know that was the last time I ever saw him - I can still picture the car going off into the distance, watching it for what seems like forever. Now when I think of that, I know that 3 days later I was told that he had died.
A memory of him that I have to live with forever, whether I want to or not is of of him lying in state. So empty. So devoid of the life that made him my Dad.
Sorry to bring this down, but I think I might go and have a little cry.
JTW.
