Write about an object you own that has negligible monetary value, but is priceless to you.


I would not call myself a hoarder, but I have a lot of things piled around certain parts of the house that are more my domain. Which of these things would I deem priceless? That is a good question. Two things that come to mind are things I don't particularly find overly beautiful, but they are the last two gifts my father brought back for me from his trip to Jamaica. He had gone on a golfing holiday with his buddies and remembered to bring something home for his little girl. He died of cancer after that.

One item is a straw doll about a foot long. She has teal coloured pompoms on her skirt and feet. I have her hanging on my mirror where I can see her everyday. The other is a wood carving of a head - a bust of a warrior or some such thing. Both are nice, but it was the person that gave them that strikes me as important and give the object its priceless-ness.
