What Have You Saved From Your Childhood??

Well, I keep this kind of a treasure box where my parents gave me. Inside where like you have to keep some money. They were always trying to tell me to save money for the future. Until now, I still have it. And it always remind me of saving money in case of emergencies.

I only have one toy left and he is now 24 years old. It is the only doll i appreciated cause i am more into toys for boys. So, my sisters are all happy and celebrating every time my grandma send us Barbie Dolls . I am fond of collecting toy cars but none of it left cause every time we move around someone keep it. I'm so sad cause it was all collectors items.

I don't think I have saved anything from my childhood just my teen years. On the other hand my mom saved me a wool blanket that she had since I was a baby. I now have it and the brand still exists 36 years later, but this type of design with colors I haven't seen in stores. She took good care of this blanket. because it has no holes, no stains or anything kind of damage.

i guess if there is something that i kept that would be my books.. i am a reader and i love books and through the years i was growing up, i often ask my mom to buy me books..from title to title..and that was like more than thrice a month and i accumulated a lot throughout the years! hahaha and till now those books are here with me and these books have been reminders of my past...things were written down on it and i love every single one of them. My husband would want me to give them away or sell it but i cannot because i am so attached to them..but i might give some away because we are moving into this new house but it is small and i don't think there is a place for those books. It is making me sad but maybe if i could find better homes for it then maybe it will all be ok.

When I was a child my parents moved very often and I have given away most of my toys to relatives, friends or charity, because I couldn't bring everything. I only have a few toy left, one of them is a teddybear that I got when I was a few months old. There are huge holes in it and it is almost falling apart, because it was my favourite toy and I carried it whereever I went. I simply loved that tedddybear I also have a doll that my mother has made. That is also very old, but it is important to me because my mother made it herself.

It's only now that I realized I haven't kept any material thing from my childhood days. When I was younger, we used to transfer from one place to another and we have been victims of typhoons and storms during those days that all our belongings were literally washed out. I guess, the only thing that I have kept were the memories of my childhood, which still lingers on my mind even I am nearing my golden years, those happy and unforgettable memories that I have been telling my children and soon to tell to my grandchildren.

I have some books with stories that I used to read when I was a child. We also used to have a poetry book that we borrowed to our friends and classmates and they wrote in it and sometimes they glued a picture there. I started to write a diary when I was 14, so I can read my thoughts from that time - some are pretty childish..
