Passing on Precious Heirlooms
posted by StoneFoxy 1:11 PM 24/11/2009
As we get older, we tend to become less selfish. That process really hits full stride when we have kids and they suddenly become the center of our affections and care. Parents inevitably pass on genetic traits to their kids, and they also share their wealth of knowledge and advice. Then there are the tangible objects – the prized possessions that flow from one generation to the next with great ceremonial meaning.
When I turned 16, my mother gave me a set of decorative jewelry boxes filled with heirloom earrings, rings and bracelets. Her own mother had brought them over from Italy around the turn of the century, and there was really no telling how old these priceless jewels might be. I would never think of selling them, and for the time being I’m keeping them safe in a bureau drawer. Some day it will be my turn to pass them on.
