A family heirloom that is important to heritage is my grandma's dreamcatcher. My grandma got this dreamcatcher at a store in New Orleans when she was 14 years old. She was with her mother when she got it. Her mother bought the dreamcatcher for her and told "Whenever, you feel lost or your passions are dying out. Look at this dreamcatcher for hope and remember it'll be alright in the end". My grandma later passed it down to my mom when she was stressed one day from high school. She told my mom the same thing her mother told her in the store. It cheered up my mom and she kept with her even when she moved to California. My mom recently passed it down to me, when I became a freshman in high school. The dreamcatcher represents that through our toughest times or when we lose hope. We look at this dreamcatcher and remember what we have passion for and to never lose hope.
