message 201: by Gwennie (new)

Gwennie (blessedwannab) It was only my Wallet, if it had been my purse I would have lost my phone and my Kindle. So because it was just my wallet I only lost my Drivers License, Credit Card, mine and my daughters SS Cards, my Grandpa's obituary, a beautiful letter my husband wrote me years ago after a fight that I found originally in his wallet (he'd kept it with him for a few years before I found it), and a letter my sister wrote me from when she was away on an internship thanking me for being her friend.

So basically two things that were irreplaceable. My mom has copies of my Grandpa's obit.

Heidi That is still depressing.

Gwennie (blessedwannab) It's extremely depressing. After searching and searching I finally just cried a bit and started taking care of stuff.

Hehehe, I had read through the thread before posting, and so many people had raved about them that I just had to put them on there :) I can't wait to read them!


Rach (pagesofpiper) (piperbunny) I so failed at this challenge, I picked books that I didn't really want to read but just on their covers, wish I'd thought more about it.

Are we allowed to change? :)
