Kevin was my best friend from about 2nd to 7th grade and it was the ONLY image of I had of the two of us together....it was drawn at a booth at Underground Atlanta in '98 I think- we went down there for my birthday....

So, I noticed it wasn't there anymore and I asked my dad where he put it, and he told me that he got paint on it and THREW IT AWAY , and then turned it around to make it my fault because I "leave my stuff all over the house and expect him to move it". He is such a f***** ass!!!!

I could just cry. and I know I can't do a f***** thing about it because it is GONE. I guess some people don't understand the concept of how some things are VERY important to people.

as part of the grieving process, does anyone have any stories of losing highly sentimental things? Please share.......

i can relate, when i was in 10th grade, back in 1984 (wow i am old ) my boyfriend at the time gave me a rumours tourbook, he brought it to school for me~ i had always kept it at home, but this 1 day i had brought it to school to use it to draw a pic of stevie from it for art class~ i put it in my locker just for lunch period, god forbid something get spilled on it~ well needless to say i was in lunch for like 20 mins & decided to go back to my locker~ guess what... someone had broken into it & stole my tourbook, along w/ my leather jacket & panties,,,i know what you are thinking, but my folks were divorced & i would spend half the week w/ 1 parent & the other half w/ the other, so i was in transition & had gotten some new clothes & was just taking them from 1 home to the other, now the leather jacket could be replaced, but at the time, there was no such thing as ebay & my tourbook was irreplacable to me ( i have since replaced it thru ebay) but it took like 20 yrs & i just couldn't believe someone would be so cruel to steal my stevie!!! ~ & why the panties...?, i don't wanna know~

sorry to hear of your drawing being tossed, i am very sentimental about things, i totally understand how you feel ~
