Home / Past

Do you have something in your home that you just can't throw away ?

Something from your Past ....

Something your Mom or Day gave you

[Karin M Fichtner]

I don't have anything from childhood, but I do have things that have sentimental value.  The painting of an eagle flying over mountains that my dad painted hangs over my tv.  My mom's charm bracelet full of memories is in my jewelry box.  The little brass mermaid sitting on a rock that my parents brought back from their trip to Scandinavia.  My grandmother's Norweigian Bible, which is falling apart and has to be kept in a plastic bag.  I am a softie when it comes to memories.  I wouldn't part with any of this.

I had a quilt my mom sewed together for many many years . It was soft and thin patch work quilt . It got so ragged i ended throwing it away . Sure do miss it ...Also had a box of old coins i had kept since i was 12 years old . I wanted to pass it on to my kids but they don't give a crap about me anymore . So i took the silver and sold it . Bought a new 47 in TV with the money .

I have two beautiful quilts from the late 1800's, (my great grandmothers) a few dishes, some jewelry. The quilts are in mint shape, I just love them.

Most things I have have some type of meaning to me. I don't have lots and lots of stuff. I have sorted and thrown out many things over the years. I had a couple of serious health issues that sort of got me to weed things out.

I recently got my piano back from my niece...was nice to get that back. I am in the process of refurbishing it. I have a kitchen table that belonged to my grandmother that my Aunt refurbished...a beautiful piece of furniture.

My Mother is a painter and I have some of her art hanging in my living room.

I can't imagine throwing something away that is meaningful to me.

I'm in the process of refurbishing my piano as well.  When I am retired again, I plan to take up practicing and playing at it again.

I don't have lots of attachment to things because the stuff is in my head, but I am somewhat disappointed with myself for that.  I wonder why I don't have that attachment.

Yet I have a hard time letting go of people I care about, saying permanent goodbyes.

I have a few things from my dad like his old coins, I have the switch plate from my old childhood bedroom it's a little dutch girl. I have pictures but not as many as I would like to have kept. My old baby book.
