My mother decided to keep this statue as a way to remember My late grandmother who passed before I was born and has been with us for a very long time, about 20+ years. My late grandmother loved children and how much freedom they had, her being from portugal, she also loved fishing as it was a major part of her heritage. The statue depicts a young boy in fishing gear with his dog, it signifies my grandmothers true love for fishing and children. It signifies the things my mother and my family cherish and in my mothers opinion the most important thing that she kept. The object itself, although not mine, does have an impact on me as it is one of the only things that i have from my late grandmother. I have heard many stories of her and have created an image in my head of what she would've been like. Even though I did not know her, I feel a close connection to her as she was a very important person to many people in my life and I decided that it would be the perfect thing to share about.
