My long lost brother's 95 - 98 Mead notebooks filled with his amazing drawings that I found in my parent's attic in a cobweb infested gym bag. Other than the random midnight phone calls, it is all I have left of him.
Probably everything I have left from my Grandfather who recently passed on. Articles about his exploits, The books he wrote for me discussing his upbringing, its my heritage and I cannot wait to pass it on down to my children. I would like his legacy to live on forever.
My parents. Once I lose them, it'll be hell. If you mean more material, my car - it takes me to the place that pays me so I can pay the bills and buy everything else.
Sentimental - I have some audio cassette tapes, One of my great grandfather singing How Great Thou Art, another of my grandfather where I interviewed him for a school project talking about his life as a child and his hometown, and one of my little sister when she was 3 singing songs and talking about our family (so adorable she was- so sad how they turn teenager ) I was big on recording stuff I also have a cabbage patch doll that my gran made each of us grand daughters when they were popular... she even made a "GI Joe" one for my brother that I kept - I guess I may have to give that back if he has kids. Materialistic, I can't live without my computer (computers if you count my laptop)
This is tough. Would love to say "wife" but referring to her as a prized posession kinda gets stuck in my throat. Does prized possession refer to oldest possession? Then that would be my pocket knife (25+ years). I have damn near cried everytime I thought I lost it. But there is only one thing that really makes me smile every day (excluding wife): My 01 Harley Road King. Heh? That wasn't so tough.....
I don't think humans can be considered "prized possessions," so I'll go with something a bit more concrete. I have a cabin on Lake Brownwood that was built by my grandfather. It contains much of the history of my family. That's the one...
Based on longevity, I think it's my GE Clock Radio. My mom got it for me 16 years ago for my freshman year at Groton (where I was miserable for two-and-a-half years) and I've kept it ever since.
Unless you are an 1800s era plantation owner, I don't think it is correct to refer to people as possessions.
