Do you Treasure Things that have Belonged to your Parents and Grandparens.

The only thing I had until recently was my grandmother's locket that my grandfather gave her (though I never met him). Her name is inscribed on the front (though spelled wrong LOL!). My father passed away a year ago this coming Monday. I have a pair of his loafers I use as house slippers. They are a bit big but they are comfortable and keep my feet warm (sometimes too warm). I will probably wear them until they fall apart. My mother has also given me a little leather box which has his rosary in it, and a wooden box in which he kept his cotton hankies. I also have two of his hankies though I seemed to have misplaced one. When I was really missing my Dad and wanted him to come to me in my dream, I went to sleep with his rosary in my hand. I didn't dream about him that night though. I also have some of his books. Some I may read and give away, others I will hold onto forever. My mother is still alive but she did give me one of her rings. I look forward to getting her Opal ring. We are both October babies, however so is my sister so there might be a fight over that one! LOL!
