| I still have a few letters my husband wrote to me. And I've kept all our cards we wrote to each other during our short 8 years together. I keep them because he was killed by a drunk driver just 6 days after his 28th birthday. It's been almost 20 years, and I don't read them anymore. But I can't bare the idea of not having them. |

| I threw them all out three years ago. The girl who wrote them is a distant memory -- and wasn't much of a scribe. |

| I keep letters and cards from milestones in my life, like graduation, birthdays, select Christmas cards, and sentimental ones from friends and family. I save them because I think it will be neat to look at them when I'm a lot older and also for my kids to see (if I have kids) when they're older. |

| I keep birthday cards and things like that for a few months, because I feel rude throwing them out after someone put the thought into getting them for me... but eventually I can't stand having them just for the sake of keeping them.On the other hand, I keep all my silly notes from my three two years of high school in a bag in my closet... I just moved to a new school for my senior year, and even though I was never really one for notes, it's a physical, but positive reminder of the friends I left behind. |

| I have a love letter my husband wrote to me on our wedding day and some old cards and letters from loved ones who have passed away. There is something sentimental about saving the words written by someone who is no longer here. It's sad that the card is still in this world but not the person I love. Those cards and letters are in top five personal things I'd save if my house was burning down. |
