My wife and I have had to move around a lot for most of our marriage. As we moved we ended up leaving behind some items of great sentimental value to my wife. As I realized the pain this caused her, one christmas I made her a chest with a note inside that promised no matter where we went or what happened anything in this chest would come with us no matter what.

I would grab that chest.
