Major Catastrophe

Major Catastrophe…………………

Wow, in case of a major catastrophe that totally wiped out the country’s infrastructure, the three items that I would take would be my family’s photo album, my family bible, and a diamond pendant cross.  The family photo album contains photos of my children birth, baptisms, graduations, wedding, family vacations, school pictures, family reunions, family road trips, photos of grandparents, grandmothers with their holding their first grandchild, this is my family’s culture; these are photos that I hope will keep memories of my family alive forever.  My Bible is a symbol of my belief that has been passed down from generation to generation.  The diamond pendant cross, was given to me by my three children on Mother’s Day in 2000, with the words “We love you” on the back and I hold it very dear to my heart.  To be told once I arrived that I would only be allowed to keep one of these items, would break my heart.  The one item that I would have to keep would be the photo album, which contains a lifetime of memories, the only thing that I would have left to pass on to the next generation.
