If your house was burning and you could only save five personal items...?

Question

...what would those items be? Mine would be:

1. Cards and letters I have saved over the years

2. Family photo album from my childhood

3. A framed snapshot of my childhood dog

4. My jewelry box

5. My purse

Keep in mind, no people or pets remain in the home...just stuff.

I wouldn't save any recent photos of my children because other family members have copies of them. I would save things that I'm unable to replace.

Also, I know this is a devastating thing to happen and I'm not making light of it but rather thinking out loud about what personal items I would save.

Answer 1

1. My father's old high school English Lit book (he wrote throughout it).

2. As many photo albums as I could carry.

There really isn't much of anything else. Most of the books I have are easily replaceable. As a matter of fact, with the exception of some personal papers and yeah....i guess that would be #3, everything else could go up in smoke.

Answer 2

1. My laptop.  It's got every picture I've taken over the last 4 years on it, as well as my banking & bill information.

2. Purse

3. Jewelery box.

4.  My wedding dress

5. My pillow.  Yeah, laugh.  I've had the thing for over 20 years.  It's reduced to a little 8x8 square from its original full size, but it's like my security blanket.  Nevermind the fact that I'm almost 30.  I can't seem to part with it.
