THe dessert cups she served ice cream in when I was a kid. This silly fruit thing that she kept on her table. <br /><br />3. The things I have are important to me because they are things that remind me of her, and of a time when I felt loved by her<br /><br />4. Not yet, she still lives with me<br /><br />5.

I have my maternal grandma Howell's rocking chair, which was passed to Momma by Grandma and then to me by Momma. I have a 3 gallon churn that belonged to my paternal great aunt Suzie Atkinson-Morphis. She raised my paternal grandma after my great-grandma died when my grandma was only 8. I have the hymnal carried by my paternal great-grandpa Atkinson, who was a Methodist Circuit Preacher and carried his Bible and his hymnal in his saddle bag every where he went. I have my FIL and Daddy's memorial flags presented graveside with military honors for their service. I have a bowl that was once owned by my husband's great, great-grandma Smith. My aunt has a bread mixing bowl, rolling pin and old farm table that was my Maw MaDonalds. The bowl and rolling pin had been passed down from Aunt Suzie and the table was built by my paternal grandpa. We have a pocket watch that belonged to Daddy and was given to him about 35 years ago by his church. We have a table with 12 chairs and china hutch that was Mommas and was built for her by her uncle when her first grandchild was born, which was 34 years ago. I treasure each of these, as do my sisters. Since I don't have children, I have worked to make sure all our heirlooms are passed to my niece or nephews and that they are passed to those who will most appreciate them and treat them with the same loving care we have. Oh, and I also have an Anniversary Clock bought by Daddy in Germany and brought home as a gift for Maw McDonald when he returned home from Germany. It still works and keeps perfect time. It was purchased in 1955. I also have my MIL's original Hope Chest, purchased for her by her parents on her 16th birthday. Ok, I'm shutting my mouth now!Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12608123533919730726noreply@blogger.com
