Lisa replied to one of my musings that getting her Grandmother's silver teaspoons was her joy and her honour. Every time she uses or cleans those spoons she'll be one with her Grandmother. Grandma won't be there in person but I bet she guided Lisa's hands every time she touches those spoons. Each time she uses them she'll be in silent communication with her beloved Grandmother.
I have a tremendously tacky ceramic shoe ornament from my Grandmother's effects. It's not a thing of beauty but it is something that warms my heart.
Now my family doesn't leave you the small item of love and a cheque for a large sum of money. Often we have to whip the hat around to pay for the funeral, but if we where left some money, it would be gone, spent, enjoyed or blown. And after a while the only thing that would still be there would be the small item of Love.
What was that for you and why?
