There is an angel in my family that has been passed down through generations, it is a tree topper for a Christmas tree. It's very important to my mom because her stepdad gave it to her. He dies from cancer at a young age.  I never met him but from what my mom told me he was a pretty awesome person. So the angel on the tree kind of reminds her of him. Recently the Christmas lights broke on it, and it's really hard to find replacement ones. That was bad because it kind of was ruining the tradition, but it still sits on top of the Christmas tree. It is very beautiful with blond hair and a white sparkly dress. The base is made of plastic materials that's what she sits on. This kind of shapes my identity because it shows how we remember people in our family.  It's been in my family for a while and hopefully, it gets passed on to me one day. Overall the angel is very important to my mom and me because it reminds her of her stepdad and reminds me of my family.
