What Is Precious To You?

What Is Precious To You? People's personal belongings always touch me. Things that are personal and speak of them. A grandchild's favourite rabbit. Your husband's cup - with a picture of you both in it. Slippers, a watch, pen, ring, perfume, aftershave, clothes. Whenever I went away for a night, my little girls wanted scarves or a T-shirt of mine with my perfume on it, to sleep with. Personal to their Mummy. A lady told me that after her grandad's funeral, they were back at the house having tea. She saw her grandad's favourite - half eaten - jar of marmalade in the cupboard. She broke down sobbing, because it was personal to Him, and he wouldn't get to finish it. I cried when she told me.
