After considering the scenario of being transplanted to another country, the items I would take with me would be my wedding rings, my camera, and money.
I would take my wedding rings because they signify the bond between my husband and myself and hold many important memories about our relationship. I would take my camera because it has years worth of photos that I have not printed and I would be able to continue to document the memories my family would make in our new home. I would also take money. With money, I would be able to exchange it for the currency of that country and buy anything else that my family would need.
If I were told that I could keep only one item, I would be disappointed, but I would keep my wedding rings. Of all the items I would bring, they hold the greatest amount of significance and are such a symbol of the relationship I share with my husband. I would be devastated if I did not have them.
I found it difficult to narrow down my life into three items, but based on my list, I realize that I value my family and also financial security. Two of the three items I selected hold sentimental value to me and cannot be replaced.
Hi Ashli,
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I thought about bringing money and a wedding ring but thought since my husband would be there that would suffice for my jewerly. Since the one set of clothes were given I thought they would provide the necessary monies needed.
Ashli,
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! I think we need to take items that symbolize our culture as well as items that will sustain our needs. I didn't think about taking my wedding ring since I always wear it, but I also couldn't imagine my life without it. Even if I leave it at home by accident, I will turn back to get it because I feel lost without it!
