What are three objects you couldn’t live without? – Asks the daily writing prompt.

At first, I really had a hard time thinking of objects I couldn’t live without. I don’t like to think there is any material thing I could live without. But really, it’s a good question to think about. Simple things like fires or natural disasters can take everything in the blink of an eye.

Thinking of losing everything and only keeping 3 things would be tough. So, you start to think about what isn’t replaceable. The little things over time from the grandkids, my own children, the little things my better half and I have done together and saved. The things we have saved from our parents that mean the world to us.

I’d be very depressed if I lost all my images, artwork and writing. I wanted to include this in the 3 but that would be selfish. I would go on living and creating new ones.

I really like my old Miata and driving that. But I lived without it. I grew up without all the digital devices we have today so I know I can live without them.

I guess I would have to pick 3 personal items. One of my mom and dad’s things I’ve kept. Maybe his burial flag and her scarf. Next would be a personal item from my life with my better half. Maybe the ring or a photo of us when we were young. Last would be a big chest of all the photos of the children and grandchildren we have from birth to now.
