I have a crystal heart hanging in a window. When the prism's reflect colors, think of all the love my son has given me.
What is your keepsake?

My husband was killed in a car accident a couple of years ago. Just before he died, my then 4 year-old daughter drew a picture of all of us, with the dog and cat. I framed it, and it's hanging in my living room. Reminds me of what a wonderful, happy family we had, (and actually still do have).

Every day is a treasure. But, there are a couple things: A little baseball bat I ordered with his newborn pictures; it is the length he was when he was born, and he was very premature (23wks, 6 days) and only 11 and a quarter inches long and 1 lb. 2 oz. I look at this and think, "What a miracle", as he is now 8 years old and in perfect health. Also, a little concrete stepping stone with his handprint in it that he made in preschool. I keep that on my nightstand. But I keep all his schoolwork too; I just can't bring myself to throw it away. Times that he drives me nuts or not, he is the most wonderful thing in my life.

After thirty years I still have all of the drawings and school papers that my children did in school. But I think the thing I cherish the most is my three children and 3 and 1/2 grandchildren( the 1/2 is the new grandbaby that is due in the spring.

My now 21-yr-old son had a paper route for a couple of years. Every now and then he'd buy me something. What I love best is a little ceramic, eye-glass wearing mouse in a basket.
My daughter has burned me cds with songs I love on them.
But those who say they just cherish every day their kids have been alive are right! I didn't have kids 'til I was in my 30s and early 40s, so I truly do cherish them.

I have a photo of my son when he was born at 28.5 weeks - very prem - and was taken away from me to special care - I look at that picture whenever I'm feeling down / upset.
My son is the most treasured thing in my life

A page my son colored when he was 6. It is Blue paper with a black marker. It says "your the best". It's looking a little tattered, but I love it!

I have a plate the was done in ceramic with my son's hand print on it. It was done when he was in pre-k. Now he is 22 years of age. I just ran across of it and was seeing if I could do one of my grand-daughter now.

I don't have children, but my brother (who is 13 years younger than I) made a picture of us together when he was in kindergarten. I had it framed and it hangs on my livingroom wall.
