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.
