More Thoughts on Heirlooms
Speaking of heirlooms, I was going through some of the jewelry that my late step-father gave to me before he died and I found his pocket watch. It had been handed down for generations. On the front there is a train engine.
My daughter was only 7-months-old when my step-dad died, so she really never knew him. My nephew, on the other hand, was very close to his “Pap Pap” and they used to spend hours putting together the train sets my step-dad collected.
So, I felt like it would be very special to set aside the pocket watch for my nephew. His birthday is not until August, so I have time to have it cleaned and tuned up so that it is in top shape – although it still keep amazing time.
You know, I feel like some of the most special gifts are not new items, but heirlooms that are passed down from generation to generation, full of stories and rich is history.
