A little tale from my mother.
Several months ago we lost my Nan. As part of her estate my mum was given "the family jewels". When i say jewels i mean an old watch, a coin and plastic flower thing etc. In other words nothing that was worth any money but meant something to Nan.
The reference to the "family jewels" was obviously a family joke.
Today my Mother was clean an old photo frame. It was of the wedding of my sister. One corner of the photo-shopped in my late grandfather (dec 41 years). i have no idea why they photo-shopped him in. family.
While cleaning the frame she was really, really looking at the photo frame. She then realised that the small plastic flower thing was what Grandfather was wearing on his lapel. At her own wedding (41 years ago).
The thing is that no one else has this photo on their wall. No one else would have even KEPT a small plastic flower .
Just goes to show the even though something may have no monetary value what so ever doesn't mean it's not important or can give you what that find gave my mum today - it helped lift her spirits and made her smile (this week has not been a good week for many reasons).
love is all.
