In the case of an catastrophic event and an emergency evacuation, the three items that I would take with me are a picture of my mom and dad, a picture of the 12 disciples that was given to me by my mom when i moved out, and a family photo album.
I would bring the picture of my mom and dad, because I do not want to forget where I came from. Considering that I would be going to a country that would be totally different than what I am accustomed to, this is very important to me.
I would bring the picture of the 12 disciples to represent, that no matter what struggles I am going through, I know that God will see me and my family through it all.
I would bring a family album. I say this because I would want my son to know about his life and how we was raised prior to moving to a new country. To have the moments of love captured in a photo, will allow our son to see that he was loved, and even through our current situation he would still see that he will be loved and cherished.
If I had to choose only one, I would choose a picture of my mom and dad. As stated before, when I look at them I think about where I come from, and where I am going. Looking at their picture in a sense would serve as a motivation to get through any situation.
I learned that my family do not have a certain family loom that has been passed down. This made me realize that everything I was taught has stuck with me due through experience. I would like to have had a family loom to show my son and my future children but I do not. I am going to think on creating a family loom that can be passed down within my family.
Hi Kayla,
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how much pictures of parents mean to children. I too chose the family pictures comprising of my parents and sister. To add to that now I have my wonderful husband and my 3 month old baby!! Although you have no physical family loom, you seem to cherish everything within you and haven't lost anything in the absence of an object. Kudos to that!
