I kept it but not sure why. When it fell off I wrap it in a tissue an dput it in a memory box someone gave me at me.

ETA: I am a pack rat so I save everything.

DH and I said we were not going to keep it, but when it fell off we just couldn't throw it out for some reason. It sat on DS' shelf in a box for a while, but in the end we did throw it away.

I couldn't bring myself to keeping it, it just kind of grossed me out. So in the trash it went.

We got a tree and buried it when we planted the tree on our front lawn.

sorry to crash your board.. but my mom saved mine and the first moment I had the chance to notice what i was I put it in the garbage. DOnt get me wrong I love that she kept all of my baby stuff (the dress of my baptsim, my first dress etc etc) but that was one thing that I really didnt one too see when I got older. JMO

My father would have killed me if I tossed it.

Its in a tiny baggie (like those you get spare buttons in) and in a box. He's taking it home with him. Knowing him, he'll probably be buried with it one day..

It's somewhere in this house.

I still remember my friend telling me that she saved the "biblical cord." Chat Icon
