My object is a picture of me and my grandpa, and in the picture we were taking a picture and it looked like I was about 2 years old. I was given the picture last year after my grandpa passed, the picture was kept in his room and it was one of the two only pictures that was in his room. This object is very important to me because now it’s going to be one of the only things that I have to myself that I can remember my grandpa from. My grandpa is originally from Mexico and came to the U.S. and if hadn’t made that decision my family would probably have been very different and my grandpa was a very hard worker and tried to produce a way better life for my.
