What, if any, small valueless objects of sentimentality have you kept over the years?

I have kept my name badges from my early years in retail which depict the various job roles I held. Later I kept a single business card from the different job titles I had in the corporate world.

I also have a small titanium plate with a couple of titanium screws which was used to keep my radius together while it healed from a break.

You?

Your best thread in a while Dive.

Last year I went to see the movie 'Belfast' in Bogota with a girl i was kind of seeing, I kept both tickets, we're still in contact and when I see her next I plan to give her one of them.

I have a load of crap gathered from travelling but on a sentimental level probably just the various drawings and paintings I've picked up along the way.

That's nice. At 16 i built a bedside table for school, my parents didn't need it at the time and at 16 i didn't care. So my sister took it, few years later and she had her first and only kids, it went into his room and stayed there ever since.

Photographs. Of people I have known. My brother was burned out of house and home, just managed to get his wife and two kids to safety. By the time the fire dept. arrived, there was nothing left but embers. Later, my mother, sister, and I put together an album of family photos for him. Baby pics, school pics, camping pic, of all of us. He cried for joy.

A shovel from my days of gravedigging. It makes me smile even though its old, useless and very rusty.

Paintings, some of which my father brought to me, he had a feeling for art, they are part of the family now. An old piece of furniture from my grandmother's home.
