Interesting thread. I really have nothing of my late father's, to my dismay; I now wish I had (ghoulish though this may seem even to me) some of his ashes. Mom lately gave to me (after discussion with all of us) a portrait we'd had done of Dad back in the 70's by an African sign-painter, it has him caricatured as a Superman kind of body-builder... but I LOOK a lot like him, apparently!

Companion thread idea: What have you LOST? I want my white-cheeked rabbit back, that I lost I think on a transatlantic Pan Am flight about 35 years ago... and mu poor Willie left his black stuffed doggie (which used to be MINE *fume*) at the zoo last weekend... offering a reward!
