Jenna's Cherished Possessions

Lynn Bronikowski of The Rocky Mountain News interviewed Jenna Bush during her book tour for Ana: A Journey of Hope, asking some of the same questions lots of reporters seem to ask, like how she got engaged, what's on her iPod, and her relationship with the First Parents. I liked Jenna's answer to another not-so-common question, especially because I can relate to Ana's situation:

Ana's most cherished possession is a photocopy of a photo of her mother, who died when Ana was three. What's your most cherished possession?

That's a good question — hmm, my most cherished possession. I have letters from my mom's father, who passed away when I was younger. He wrote one the day I was born and others on my birthdays. I love looking back at these letters. The reason Ana's most cherished possession is the photocopy is that as an AIDS orphan, she doesn't remember her parents and she wants to make sure she can keep their memory alive. It was something I was very interested in because I'm lucky enough to have my parents still living and have lived with them and grown up with them.
