I sometimes wonder what life would be like without my grandmother’s antique on the left side of my light brown dresser right next to my bed. My grandmother’s antique has so much meaning to me for a number of things and if it disappeared, I feel like I would lose part of my grandmother. 

I never really knew my grandmother, she died when I was around 8 years old due to a heart disease and I never really had a connection towards her. I would always see her on Christmas Eve and on her birthday every year and I would always hug her when I saw her. I just never really had a personal relationship with my grandma, unlike my other grandma. A couple of years passed and one day, my mom decided to give my grandmother’s antique, which is a little girl in a purple dress, holding a bouquet with 2 ruby birthstones on it. My grandmother and I were both born in July, which means that those 2 rubies, to me, symbolizes our bond together. The antique gives me a sense of love that my grandmother is always with me when I am falling asleep and that we will never lose each other because of our 2 birthstones on a flower. 

This antique also means so much to me because it’s beautiful like my grandmother. I sometimes see pictures of her when she was little, and I think of how pretty she was in her wedding dress or on the farm. This little girl wearing that purple dress and holding flowers reminds of how my grandma used to look in her childhood. She looked so majestic and kind of like an angel. My grandmother was amazing and her antique definitely reminds me of her. 

This antique is the last thing that I have of my grandmother before she passed away. I feel like if I don’t have that antique in my room, I am going to forget about her because I didn’t really know her. If it disappeared one night, I would feel a sense of something being ripped out of me and never coming back. I will always love my grandmother and when I have that antique, I feel like she loves me from heaven. I always say if I could have dinner with someone, dead or alive, it would always be my lovely grandmother. I say that because I would like to get to know my grandma more.  I love you grandma!
