This past summer I lost something that I will never be able to get back.  It was a baseball cap from the 1991 world series.  My father went to game seven and when the Twins won he came home with a baseball cap for me.  I was 8 at the time and didn't quite fit into it but I wore it almost every day of my life until this past summer when the tragic loss happened.  I was in a boat on a lake in northern Minnesota.  I had taken my hat off while we were swimming near a sand bar after dark.  As we sped away back to the dock my hat flew off the boat.  I dove in the water while the boat was still moving to try and find it but in the dark there was nothing I could do.  When the sun came out we went to look for it but there was nothing to be found.  

I have a new hat now that I plan on passing on to my children,  I know that it seems trivial for a hat to be so important but the Twins are a great connection I have with my father.  
What have you lost that you can never get back?
