Day 21: Something you can’t seem to get over.

I'm not proud of saying this, but it would have to be losing my treasures when the storage unit they were in was sold off.  When I left Virginia some 30 years ago and moved to Alaska, I stored some things in my parent's attic.  They moved and my things went into storage along with some of their things, and my brother's things.  Someone failed to keep up the storage payments (not out of lack of funds but from lack of communication--who was paying what) and everything in storage was lost.  When I moved to Alaska I left my "treasures" like a huge Beetles' collection of records, trading cards, Elvis memorabilia and records, and lots of my photo albums from young adult thru my first child.  I know, you're wondering why I left these things.  It was because we did not drive to Alaska, we flew.  We mailed most of our things and the rest were left for a time when we could afford to have them shipped up to Alaska.

I can't seem to get over it, especially when I see Beetles and Elvis memorabilia selling for thousands of dollars and these latest reality shows like Storage Wars!  And I can't get over losing other collectibles and especially my photos!  Hey, I said I wasn't proud to admit it!  I should just get over it, right?  LOL
