Your Most Prized Possession?

[472 R/T SE]

I was very, very close to my Grandmother.  My uncle started living with her about 7 years prior to her passing.

When she passed I flew home & after the funeral my uncle & I were sitting @ the table & he told me I could have anything I wanted from her place.  My mind raced but the only thing I wanted was a paint by number picture she did of The Last Supper that hung on the wall over the dinner table.  I looked up & pointed to the picture.  That was all I wanted.  Every Sunday after church I would drive over to her place for lunch & spent more than a few hours admiring the painting.  
He questioned me several more times about whether there was something else I wanted?  I sat & watched as he gave away all of her prized possessions & none of it fazed me cause I had something a lot of her kids' didn't even have many of...wonderful memories.  

We spent quite a bit of money having it enclosed & my wife still hasn't hung it up.  I need someone to put it up for me...."HEY CURTIS!!!!!!"



One other thing is an old phone.  One of the old wooden ones with a crank on the side of it.  It was my great great Grandfather's & was still working when taken down my Dad said.

The painting thing is cool & reminds me of a small, tin bank about 5 inches tall that my Great Grandmother had that I got to keep. As a kid I remember seeing it all the time on a shelf in her kitchen & playing with it while I was at her place. I was probably 11 or 12 when she died, & sometime after, either my Mom or my Grandmother, saved the tin bank & gave it to me. The lid is separated from the bottom, but I know I have it somewhere in a box.  

Looks like this one....

A gold bracelet my then girlfriend, now wife got me for my 25th Birthday. She was only working part time and spent nearly 2 weeks wages on it. It matches my necklace
