What's your most prized possession?

[terrya]

What artifact, material possesion, object...do you prize the most? That you will keep forever and never let go?

A couple of years ago, my partner, Doug, composed a homemade valentine. It was a poem he created himself about his love for me. I cried when I read it...and I'll treasure it always.

What is yours?

5. A wallet sized Photo of my late Uncle Chuck

He did two tours of Duty in Viet Nam and was killed in the line of duty as a Military Police Officer in San Diego, he had just turned 21. I idolized him. I was six then, I am now 44 and his picture is in plain view. I have had this photo since his death. It is the only thing I have held onto from my childhood. My son is named for him. I witnessed through my Grandparents the incredibly awful experience of losing your child through someone else's brutality. Some 21 years later, as my Grandfather lay dying, this was the biggest thing on his mind. My Grandmother wouldn't talk about it all the way up to her death.

That's what this object does for me.

11. My Bicycle

It is the most important object in my life. How well I feel on any given day is based on how many miles I got to ride the day before.

It strengthens my twice infarcted heart, helps with my stroke challenged balance, and gets me out in the world and out of my cubby hole. It seems to help with the pain as well.

That is why I hate the month of February, I wait sometimes two weeks and more on bad weather before I can get out on the road again.
I would say that I get ten and a half months of riding out of a year.
Technically, it is a Short Wheelbase Recumbent, which means I can sit back on it, and not worry about going over the handlebars.

My happiest days are when my sweetheart and I can get out and ride together.

Since the stroke, my best day's distance was close to a metric century
on a flat rail trail. But usually It just gets me across town for shopping, visiting friends, and hitting the library.

15. A Tibetan bell necklace from my grandmother.

I wear it most of the time...she died 4 days before 9-11, and I was flying back to CA on 9-11. Maybe that has something to do w/it?
