The object is a wooden mirror. When my mom was younger, she visited her grandmother every single day. One day, she went to go get a sweatshirt from her closet, and noticed everything was gone. Her mom then told my mom that they were flying to the U.S. to move there. At the time, my mom didn’t know she would be moving, so she thought she would be coming back to her house. Since they were flying, they couldn’t bring a lot of stuff. Before she left, my mom’s grandmother gave her a wooden mirror. This was her grandmother’s mirror, and she gave it to my mom so she would remember her every day in the U.S. It was a hard move because my mom had to leave everyone else in her family in Mexico, even her brother. To this day, my mom still has the mirror, and it reminds her of her grandmother.
