10. My grandmother gave me a Bible

for my confirmation. I would never get rid of it, but only for that reason. I think that there are five or six Bibles in the house, but that one is the one that means something to me. I lost all my jewelry in a robbery years ago, so I don't have the crosses that my mother and grandmother gave me, or they would also mean something to me.

I am not very sentimental, but when you have so few things given by someone you loved, they do have importance. I suppose that you could say that your cross is a symbol of love for you and not a symbol or any religion.
