 The item I have chosen is a vase that has been in my family for decades. It is made of red glass and has hints of white blue , yellow and purple. It is rounded at the bottom and the top is shaped almost like a flower.  It was my grandmothers vase, so now that I don't get to see her. It is very important to me. It is also important to me because I have a lot of childhood memories attached to it. I remember almost knocking the vase over while running through the hallways of my house and when I look at it is a kind reminder of what life used to be like. Even though I am only 16 I have had to grow up fairly quickly due to sickness and death in my family (and other issues). So having a reminder of having that fun carefree childhood is almost exhilarating and frankly a little sad. I am grateful I get to have a special item like that in my life. No matter how little it may seem, the memories it keeps are something I would never trade.
