I started this post 8 different times over the past month. It was probably the most difficult one for me to think of. I have lots of items that I love and would never want to be without. But most treasured makes me feel like it must be something that you would die than live without it. So it really got me thinking. What do I have, that I couldn't imagine not having. There was my Cinderella snow globe, my artwork that I bought to remember my dad by, my 2 cinderella christmas decorations. But none of those had the same meaning/nostalgia like the following 2 items.
My mom's dress. She passed away when I was a toddler. And this dress has been in my possession ever since. I've never worn it. It just always hangs in the back of my closet and will not go anywhere.
My dad passed away 3 and 1/2 years ago. I have more memories of him than possessions. But this little chest I couldn't not have. It was on his dresser for as long as I can remember. And now it sits on a shelf on my wall.
