My family’s history and story is of great concern to, so much so that I intend to reconstruct the family tree as far as I can get in order to know who came before me.
In this same sense, I put a lot a value into objects that have reached through the generations. I have china, some furniture, personal items, photos and photo albums, etc.
Everything tells a piece of a story I wasn’t able to fully live through and instead just brushed me growing up.
It gives me a sense of belonging.
we have a box filled with baby teeth going back about 8 generations.
we have another box filled with locks of baby hair.
and I haven’t even mentioned the box of babies yet.
That was going really well unril it wasn’t.
