No, not a loved person but a loved thing. I've lost my mobile today and with it, 1.5 years worth of memories. I usually take about an average of 10-30 pics per day, so you do the math...
I have 3 slightly older mobiles and 2 of the latest versions of Nokia and SonyEricsson. I don't want them I want the one I use.
I AM NOT IN ANYWAY SHALLOW, STUPID, SHALLOW OR IGNORANT. I might be a bit spoiled but you can blame my parents for that.
I am extremely attached to all my stuff, be it a mobile, laptop, toys, ....etc. I feel the loss acutely. I have an acute depression.
No it is not silly. It is perfectly sane. It's like I've lost a child.
