On Vox: QotD: Can't Bear To Part With It

[ipokefish]

What's something you should throw away, but can't?

Cards that my parents have given me on holidays and birthdays. For the most part they're all personalized, they know exactly which cards to buy me. My dad is extremely thoughtful. He always drops me a card when he's out of town and sometimes when he's in town just to tell me he loves me or that

Oh jeez. I've kept every single birthday/holiday/etc card ever since I was 9. They're all crammed into an old shoebox. I have cards from people who I don't even remember.. yet I still can't toss them.

I wish I had more stuff like that from my father. We never did things like that though. :( I do have a ring he made me for my 23rd b-day that has my birthstone. I don't even have any pictures of him except one or two I took with the digital cam.

I do have some cards my mom sent me, the most famous being the one where she misspelled my name. go figure.
