Vases about what people told me was most precious to them

Any more ideas for vases?

I am very appreciative of the support and suggestions of Internet bloggers. Only there is not enough feedback from a number of people to continue. I think there are other very wonderful answers to what people most value. I would like to continue making vases of ideas I receive. I could take a different turn in this project by seeking other ways of getting answers.
I should do library research of auto-biographies. For example, Julie Andrews' autobiography HOME.
I am not getting responses on how some of the vases effect people. It is important to me that they communicate so the viewer will look at issues from a new perspective raising their level of consciousness. Helping people see themselves and how much they have in common with others is what an artist can do. So if you feel my project worthy of your time, please surprise me and leave an answer to what is the most wonderful valuable thing ever to you.

Vase of "Family, They Make Me Feel Good,"

suggested by 7 year old son of a veteran. Second most precious thing was his dreams.

Many others suggested family, some as old as 90. Blogger Darlene suggested Peace first and then family.

A two year old child made the vase of "Lady Bug"! My youngest daughter was fascinated by bugs and she made this type of hollow vessel and we fired it in our kiln.

Vase of "Bugs - Big Bug I call Orcan Boy", suggested by a 2 1/2 year old boy.

A vase of "My 'Blankee' Quilt and My Toy Airplane" suggested by an eight year old son of a veteran who was deployed repeatedly during most of his young son's life. The boy says his airplane is the most wonderful thing ever because he can pretend he is flying.

A vase of "Relationships" suggested by a rancher and a blogger calling herself Rain. She says she values all relationships as the most wonderful thing in her life. She values the ones that fit nicely and the ones that don't because she learns from them.

This project may continue if I have more feed back on what people value most. There isn't a right or wrong answer. My eleven year old granddaughter's first answer was given with apologies or feelings of not understanding the question. She said her gold jewelry as though she expected that to be the wrong answer. She is still thinking about what else is most valuable to her.
