A-Z: Things Lost

Question

Hola, mis amigos! Thank you for looking at this thread.

Let's be honest...we have all lost something over the years. Maybe it's been your keys, your teeth...or your kids at the store, jeje.

The rules are simple, the brainstorming/finding an answer is tough!

- Click newest to make sure you do the right letter. Your answer may be in Spanish or English...just make sure you post its translation. Post a picture if you can! Most importantly, have fun!

And please give a round of applause to lovely_lovely for helping me with my first game! Thanks, lovely!

So the question is...What do people lose?

I'll start with "A"...

People lose...

Amor - love
