Pieces of the past

I was sitting at the kitchen table, thinking about all the things I have. I've saved so many things over the years. It seems I can't throw any of them away because so many of them bring back memories. They're like 'souvenirs of the past' and have special meanings for me. For example, I have two small bowls that belonged to my mother: a pink-flowered one and a green-flowered one. Every morning when I eat cereal from them, I think about my mother.

Then there's the afghan I crocheted so many years ago. My mother tried to teach me to crochet, but it didn't work; I didn't learn how to do it. Later, I learned on my own and crocheted an afghan. I still have it. Strange...whenever I see that afghan now, I see her. My children and grandchildren have hinted they like it, but it's hard to part with a piece of your past.
