Back when I was going through the final stages of the ending of my marriage, there was a LOT of stress, confusion, hurt, anger, misunderstanding, tears...everything. I was most concerned on how it was effecting my daughter, and my relationship with her. I pretty much knew that whatever hurt she was going through would be blamed in her mind on me...and I can't say I wouldn't have blamed her. One night during this time after my ex-wife and I had finished yet another long emotional discussion, my 9 year old daughter came up to me and handed me a strip of masking tape...she had written on it with a pen and then with a black Sharpie...and on it, it said this: "Your cool! Your fun! Your nice! Your not someone who is hateful! You love me!" I couldn't believe the depth of love and forgiveness in her little heart...it effected me deeply, and still does. I gave her the longest, most loving hug I've ever given another person in my life...  ...To this day I still mark that moment as a turning point in guaranteeing that the relationship she and I have will always be healthy, loving and strong...that she did not doubt--and never would again--that I loved her.
I immediately put the tape across my computer monitor, so that it's always there reminding me of that moment... I've no choice but to orgnote my response...  Oh shit, my hat done fell off | |

My first thought was to say first my wife, then my kids. As for something that's not a person, I'll have to think about that a bit more. | |

yeah--my folks didn't have anything that could be passed down, since we'd move from place to place a lot and stuff got lost between moves. my dad told me that my mom had a necklace and ring that she was gonna give to me when i got older, but had ended up getting lost somehow. that had me thinking: it'd be nice to have, but what's the point in having something tangible or something that could easily be stolen/lost/destroyed when you've got memories of stuff that happened or people that mean a lot to you instead? | |

On the 'Treasured things ...' thread you said: > my memories. I can relate to a certain degree... We were flooded in 1983. We lost nearly everything... no one thought the flood would be that bad. So little was moved out before the waters came. I lost all physical memories... kinda like your physical memories vanished in a zap. I have no pictures... Sometimes I go down where we use to live... the goverment took over the land.. it is kinda eerie. Some structures are barely standing... still. I can go down there and find an old stuff animal.... petrifed from laying there all these years... from the mud... nearly 30 years ago. I go back home often... and it is just within walking distance where my aunt and uncle now live... high on the mountain... away from the river. I went to see my mother... later in life.. she was able to give me some pictures when I was a baby... a small handful... the rest... lives in my memory too.
It is kinda strange feeling... ~Hugs. Plus, some memories... I would rather not have... even if I am somewhat grateful to have them still. Does that make sense? Julie ~Hugs to Deja. | |

luv4all7 said: When I was little my Dad had to be seperated from us during Desert storm. We came back to the States and he stayed for work.
Anyway, he got me a gold bracelet, nothing special to look at, but it had a knot tied in it, (a square knot) and he said that that knot was like our friendship. It could never be untied or come loose. 
I still have it but the clasp broke and it's been like 3 years and my dumb ass husband still has not got it fixed for me. 
I'm gonna get on his case about it rite now!
It can't be that much to repair it Dani....I'd do it for ya....where exactly is it broken at? | |

That small gesture that your daughter did for you will touch you forever. One of my most cherished and treasured things right is a card that came with some roses. I have the card in my purse and when I feel down- I can read my card and smile and refocus my thoughts to happier things... [Edited 7/28/06 13:39pm] | |

When my brother was in Viet Nam he bought me these beautiful jade earrings.
Memories, and those earrings are all I have left of him. ^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections... unknown | |

A guy I do graphic design work for offered me his monitor, which is about 4 inches larger than my own....I originally jumped at the offer, but then realized that the tape from my daughter on my monitor would most likely not be able to stick to a new one, and I'd probably end up ripping it trying to remove it. So I turned him down. I'd rather keep my smaller monitor with my daughter's words... | |

| I'm kinda wary about revealing super personal stuff on the Org, but I'll play this time.
I was adopted when I was about one month old and the adoption agency sent a letter to my parents (my adoptive parents) telling them about my biological parents--what their interests/hobbies were, how old they were, why they gave me up for adoption, height, weight, stuff like that. It's only one typed page in length, and it's probably kind of formulated, but it's one of my most treasured possessions because it's the only connection I have to them. I don't have any baby pictures or information about myself for the first month of my life--just that letter. I used to read it over and over and try to figure out where my interests, looks, etc. came from--him or her. (Not including a picture for obvious reasons). [Edited 7/28/06 19:16pm] The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

It's cool, internet hugs are different, cause there's no actual touching involved.

A necklace that I never take off....my Nana gave it to me when I was 11...it was the day before she went into hospital for a simply operation (she told me as she gave it to me that it was suppose to be for my 21st...I guess she knew she wouldn't be coming home )
