It's really not an exciting story, just means a lot to me. Hubby (John) and I used to enjoy browsing round a particular antique shop in Seattle. I spotted this little vase and completely fell in love with it. Don't really know why, I see lots of pretty things in there, but this vase just drew me in. I always admired it, but it was $65 and we were broke, and I couldn't justify spending it. For months I saw this little vase and would always pause at the cabinet it was in and peek at it for a couple of minutes. One day we went in and it had sold I was gutted! If I couldn't have it at least I wanted to be able to look at it! John said to talk to the shop owner and ask if it was really sold, or maybe moved, and she said sold" I was irrationally sad about it. Three weeks later on my birthday John gives me a present - the little vase was mine! Bawled my eyes out! The End. GC: EyeC999 Level 86

Wow, that totally brought tear's to my eyes, and I also read it at the same time to my husband, same reaction.
If this were a contest, you won! Touched my heart.
But BTW GO BRONCOS

I'm giving a "Very Special Honorary Most Precious Person In The Universe" to my beloved son, Addison, two years passed and most ALIVE and full of The Love of Jesus Christ who saved him from death. Amen and praise to God! Forever, eternally grateful from a momma. <3 Tough pics to look at (the last one), so don't look at it if you're sensitive. You won't like it at all. But, God is good, all the time, everyday!!! Amen!!!

Oh, Carolyn, my heart is big and bursting for you!

What is so interesting to me is that Addison has the biggest, most loving, generous, compassionate heart I have ever known. He "loves" beyond what most are even capable of. He loves. That is what emits from his being, LOVE. Any of you would be truly blessed by knowing him. And I stand in the front of that line.

A special acknowledgement to TWLOHA. I know a few of us who know what that means. That organization can use support financially to help those in need. I am not affiliated with them. Also, stop BULLYING in schools!!!! Be a force if you see it! It can be the difference between life and death.

Thank you for your care and love. Carolyn <3

Such a great picture! Who do you look most like? I only saw your pic as a little avatar, but I'm guessing your mum? GC: EyeC999 Level 86

omg, of course the mom, everyone tells me. I keep trying to dye the hair darker. Now I want a ponytail before I get way old, trying to grow it out. The things we do for fun. I am at this point wondering whose mind I want?

This has really made me think about what is precious to me and more importantly, why. Just like most people my family - both the one I grew up with and the one I'm now part of with my husband and son - are hands down the most precious thing in my life. I know that without my son, my life would be diminished beyond recognition. It's not until you have a child that you really understand your purpose in life and I don't mean to be disrespectful to people without children but it's what we as animals do - we procreate and by doing so a biological button is pressed that releases a emotion of such intensity that it remains with you until you die. So that's what's most precious to me.

If, however, we are thinking in terms of what would I save from a burning building precious, then it would be this small simple sculpture that hangs on the wall. My sister Amanda gave it to me and for me it embodies the role of a father in a child's life - I'll help you, you can count on me, just hold on tight, I'll always be there,I won't let you fall - it reminds me of my own father and when I see my husband and son together I see the same bond. It's a small simple sculpture capable of overwhelming me with emotion - love, loss ( my father is dead ) hope - precious

So I guess that ultimately what is precious to us it something that retains a memory of us at our best, something that we can look at, touch, feel that invokes a memory of when we were at our best, a vase, a book, a ideology, a family

As I said this has made me think and I hope you don't mind me sharing my thoughts ....

Most precious to me... my family. All of them, but especially my husband because I waited 38 years to find the right man!
Here he is in his crazy dinosaur hunting hat.
