Your 'treasured memory items''?

A friend of mine has a necklace with a pendant that shows her deceased father's thumbprint on it. It is beautiful and a treasured item to her. Do you have any thing such as this? TIA

My house is full of memories from family who have passed. I lost 4 family members in the last 7 months of 2023 so they all mean a lot.

One is my 60 yr old brother. I have his fingerprints and want to get a tattoo of one of them. I also have his last text to me where he said he loved me.

My dad always carried a little green plastic squeeze wallet for coins. He passed away in 2000. His coins are still in it...all dated prior to that year.
I also have some jewelry that my mom had... given to her by my dad. One bracelet is covered with rose shaped ivory stones. Very pretty. True keepsakes for me.

I wear my mom's wedding ring on my right hand.

But what I love best is the picture of the last supper we had in our kitchen when I was growing up.

I have a palm sized piece of granite my Dad etched "my portrait" in. It's rough carved But he made it for me and nobody else.

My Mothers pearls and an opal pin I remember her wearing .

A pair of smokey glass shell shaped ashtrays put out when company came for dinner.

A few very old cookbooks with margin notes from Mom, Grandma and Great Grandma.

But the One object I Wish I still had Is an old AM radio we kept on the kitchen table.

I grew up with that radio. Music, Ball Games, The Gus Saunders Yankee Kitchen call in show, The News of the day.

That radio was one of the things Dad Remembered and used in his fading years.

After he passed on the house was cleared out and that went away before I could collect it. That radio would have been the reminder I would have had of my whole family growing up.

Not very many from my dad --I have a watch my dad wore. I wasn't offered much to take to remember my dad as my mom was not a fan of his and was starting to get a little nasty--so she got rid of most things after he died. My youngest brother might have more. I have a few items from my mom--she had pearls that I really wanted, but think she might have sold them, as well as her wedding set. I have a lovely hand made bedspread--some kind of handiwork--not knitting or crochet but tatting maybe--the thng weighs a ton. I have a piece of fostoria and then her jewelry boix with a few things in it---and a crystal vase---the same brother does have family photos tho----and some of my dads war memorbilia---he was an avid military airplane guy--would put plastic model kits together that were the exactly like the the real planes were painted--amazing!!

Mine are a little different. I have our bronzed baby shoes on the mantle; mine are Mary Janes.

My sister passed away from Leukemia in 1993. She was 47. I have worn her Movato watch every time I leave the house since then.

Oh my goodness @Mombo1 ! My Dad had the same green squeeze coin holder. I have it too with all the coins in it. I always have it in my bag. ❤️
