I would take a picture of my mother because I would never want to forget what she looks like, mainly her smile, and the values that she instilled in me.
I would want to take my bible because I know that I would need it for strength, guidance, and because I have important information written inside of it. Such as, my family history, articles and special scriptures that I have outlined.
Also, I would want to take my grandmother's wedding ring. My grandparents mean a lot to me and they were married for over 50 years. Her ring is the representation of their love. Their love would remind me of the wonderful memories that we shared.
If I only were able to keep one thing it would have to be the picture of my mom. Even though she has passed away over 30 years ago, her picture still reminds me of the unconditional love she gave me and I believe that as long as her picture is with me we are still together.
This assignment actually became emotional for me at the end because I would not want to lose my mom picture. I realize that I would never forget how much she loved me and seeing her smile makes me feel strong.
Tarshia,
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine being without either of my parents. I would hold a very similar sentiment to a picture of them if they were not here with me. I love the idea of having family history notes and other important items written down in your Bible. I would like to begin to do such a thing with my own Bible that way I have all of those elements in one book. Thanks so much for sharing.
You are really brave to write this. Thank you for sharing something so deep.

I enjoyed reading your post, it was very touching. I have to agree this was an emotional post for me as well because the items I chose have so much meaning to them.
