Cherished Item

If you could save just one item from a disaster-a fire, a flood, an earthquake-what would it be? In a few sentences, describe your most cherished possession, and tell why you treasure it. Was it a gift? If so, how does that make it especially important to you?
If I could save only one item from a disaster, may it be a fire, a flood, an earthquake, an alien invasion, or even giant cows from outer space, it would be my red blanket/ towel. This blanket has been with me for way too many years. Maybe 10 years or more and it is still in great condition. It would kind of count as a blanket, but it is quite small. It could also be used as a towel or anything that covers something. This red blanket, I actually know very little about it. I asked my parents and they said that this blanket, is older than me. I was actually surprised when my parents said that. I cherish it, because it has kept me warm, and I have spent way too many years with it. I get attached to things that I have been with for a long time. I do not think it was a gift, but I thank my parents for giving this blanket to me and for me to keep.
