It’s interesting how inanimate(无生命的) objects can take on such significance and become woven(编织)into a person’s, and sometimes a whole family’s, life history.

　　Anyway, the article had me considering what my most precious possessions are. It was difficult to choose only five, but here are mine:

　　An old cardboard box filled with my children’s baby photos.

　　A yellow pocket－sized birthday book of special things (poems, pictures of flowers and trees, etc) given to me by my dad when I was probably about seven or eight years old.

　　A 21st birthday card from my mum. In it she’s written her congratulations, her love, and her hopes for my future. She died not long after, when I was in my early twenties.

　　A few ancient but very beautiful botany books that were once my great grandmother’s. She was a botanist in a time when it was relatively unusual for women to be qualified in this field and I think she was probably a remarkable and very interesting woman. I’d like to have known her.

　　A brooch(胸针) left to me by my much－loved grandmother. It was given to my great grandmother by my great grandfather on his return from World War Ⅰ. It is not worth anything in terms of money. However, it not only stands for a link between four generations of women, but it is also a reminder of one young man’s return from World War Ⅰ.

　　How about you? I’d love to hear what you feel are your most precious possessions.
