honestly? it’s not the big expensive things. i have a little stuffed bunny my grandma gave me when i was five… it’s all worn out and one ear is barely hanging on but i still sleep with it sometimes when i’m feeling extra emotional. it reminds me of her and the way she loved me.

– then there’s the first ultrasound picture of our little girl. i keep it in my wallet and look at it every single day. that tiny blurry bean changed everything.

– my husband’s old hoodie that still smells like him even after i’ve washed it a hundred times… i wear it when he’s at work and i miss him. it’s nothing special to anyone else but to me it feels like home.

– and my belly right now. it’s not a “belonging” but it’s the most precious thing i carry every day. our daughter is growing in there and every kick reminds me what’s really important.

– i used to hold onto a lot of stuff thinking it defined me… now i realize the things i hold dearest are the ones tied to love and memories. everything else can be replaced.

what about you? what personal item means the most to you and why? is it something old, something from someone you love, or something tied to a special memory? we read every comment and love hearing what’s close to your heart.
