3 Things

This evening a young friend of mine asked this question--If you returned to your home after going to the movies, and there was a house fire,What would you not want to be destroyed in the fire? we have 5 dogs and they are like our children. When we leave the house,we bed them down in the kitchen. They are small and we have plenty of room for them,we wouldn't leave them alone outside. they are "our babies". we would have an emptiness in our hearts if they died.Both of my parents are deceased. At xmas when I was a freshman in college, my parents gave me a blue sapphire ring. my parents didn't have much money and had to save up to buy this ring. I wear this ring on special occasions.my next item would be pictures i have of family,friends, and our dogs. My friend said that her dog, Anna, was her child/family. next she would want to save a special necklace her father gave to her on her birthday. the last item would be pictures of her dog, Anna and her father. My friend is 24. Her father died last April due to cancer. She has no family and my husband and myself are "adopted family". Anna, her dog gives her love and companionship as does this young woman. What 3 Things would you want to be saved from the fire?

  1. Pictures especially since my daughters are not with me right now, the answering machine with my daughter's fathers voice since he passed so they will be able to hear it when they are older and ....I really can't think of anything else right now!

  2. glenda, needless to say that family and memories are so valuable treasures.

  3. Assuming my wife, baby girl and dog were safe... the first thing I would grab would be my wife's laptop. I know, it seems a strange choice, but it's not because it's valuable dollar wise; it is because of what it contains. In today's digital age, photos and movies are stored on computers more than in photo albums and such. So her computer has most of the baby photos and home movies. Honestly, though, things are just, well, things. I really only want my family to be safe, healthy and happy. We all have too many things already. So I'll stop at just one thing... all the photos & videos in the computer. Great job on the blog. Sorry I'm so seldom online to respond to your great posts. Have a lovely day!
