Memory stuff
Somewhere I have a box (maybe a suitcase) containing all the stuff I would hate to lose. Old family documents. Special outfits, like the family christening robe that all the babies for over 100 years have worn. That sort of stuff.I wish I could find it.
How important are memories and traditions and the odds and ends that anchor us to our roots?

one day I decided to put them away for good
my nightmares are gone now.
We have been through both a major house fire and a freezing flood event that each was a total loss of the residence structure in question. The result is the total loss of accumulated bric-brac of 240+ years of family history. Everything from handed down Family Bibles and Journals to silverware made by an ancestor to photos and old wedding dresses. I think everything I have left of family stuff would fit in a shoe box and maybe even a smaller box.
