Good morning @owasco, hope you are doing well.
I love having little trinkets that tell a story or bring back sweet memories. My favs are the ones that were my mom's, she was such a gentle soul, just full of love. It's been 18 years since she passed away and I still miss her, but we talk daily. Sounds nuts? Nah, I know you know what I mean.
Have a peaceful day my friend.
I sure do know what you mean. When someone I love dies, I feel their presence much more strongly. Objects of theirs are especially powerful for that. Something they had touched, written, or enjoyed. I hold the objects, and wonder if they will still have power when everyone who knew the person is gone. There are a great many objects and places in my life that I have no idea who they belonged to, but they still resonate with me.
