person A: Last year during the spring_comma_ our area got record rainfall. My basement ended up getting flooded and destroying many of my childhood things and keepsakes.
person B: That's the worst! Because now you'll be freaking out trying to think of the things you may not even remember whether or not could have been there. That must be an anxious feeling. 
person A: It really is_comma_ it just sucks losing all of those things. They were like my connection to the past.
person B: Yeah_comma_ I'm not quite a hoarder or a packrat when it comes to those things_comma_ but I do get sentimental with some physical objects. If I lost them_comma_ I'd feel like it would be an itch I couldn't scratch_comma_ because I couldn't replace what I lost. Hopefully you can work past it somehow.
