In my living room is a rocking chair that my Dad and I restored. He bought it on Dec 12, 1965. It was for my Mom to rock her new baby boy in.
I have my Mom's Bulova watch. It's not worth much, but she loved it.
I have my great-great grandfather's railroad pocket-watch.
The desk my computer sits on is a hand-made Cherry-wood classic with inlaid work on the top and raised panels on the front and sides. Dad made it.
My comic book collection includes Amazing Stories - The origin of Spider Man. Don't care what it's worth, I'll never sell it.
During the last week my Mom was in the hospital, we kept a vigil and I kept a journal. I wrote in it every few hours at least. Reading it now breaks me in two, but I'm glad I have it. The book came from Lee Valley Tools, and is on acid free paper with the binding sewn together. Keep it from fire or water, and it'll be around for hundreds of years.
I have boxes and boxes of things my daughter did - colouring, pictures, crafts, etc. They fill up, and I buy more boxes. My basement is unfinished - we need the storage.
