I had it all figured out: I would get up from my bed (for some reason, I was always in my bedroom in this scenario), take all the photo albums on my shelf, open the window, throw them as far as possible and climb down after them (I was on the first floor but could easily drop down without breaking a leg). If I had time I would also save all my journals and letters, but they would always come second.
Money could be earned again. Books and toys could be purchased again. However, the photographs of my childhood would be lost for good. They were my most valuable belonging, and a fire was my most feared nightmare.
Thankfully, I never had to put my master plan into action and my photo albums are still sitting on that very same shelf in my parents’ house. A most reasonable plan would be to repatriate them to Ireland on our next ferry trip. To this day, they are still one of my most valuable belonging.
