I would say my son but (no offense to you CJ) it makes me feel icky to call any living being a possession. I think the hardest and most joyous thing about parenting is that you can guide, and teach, and love - but really it's always an exercise in letting go, whether it's to send him to nursery for the first time (I cried buckets, he loved it) or to help him move into his first flat (lucky for me he's only 3

I bet I'll cry rivers then!).

So my mind and my love and my heart and my happiness are my most prized possessions. I had a rough time from the time I was 15, and I had to fight for them. I don't intend on letting them go.

As for material possessions, I have a ring that belonged to my mother, and a cookbook that even contains some of her handwritten recipes. She died when I was 15. My regret is that I don't have anything belonging to my brother (he died slightly under a year later).

I have to say things that would mean nothing to anyone else. My eldests first lock of hair to be cut, inside my grandmothers locket. My other gran's engagment ring, my daughters id tag and clip for her cord (when she was born). Silly to some but not to me.

far from calling my kids a possesion, just that theyre the one thing in my life i really value.

My Dad's wedding band. He lost it when I was about 12, we thought it was when he was gardening, that it just slipped off.

After his death, my Mum was moving the furniture around in their room, and she found it between the mattress and headboard. She gave it to me and I now wear it inside of my wedding band (which holds if on as it's a bit big for my finger). I will never take it off as it keeps him close to me at all times.
