Many of us value certain items we own, not only for practical or aesthetic reasons, but because they remind us of loved ones. After someone close to us has passed on, an object can become even more meaningful. Whether it's grandmother's washing pole, a baking mold, a samovar, a musical instrument, a vase, coasters, walking sticks, picture frames, paintings, jewellery or many others, these items are imbued with deeper significance beyond their functionality. Our Stories Live On invites you to share the story behind the object as well as the significance it holds for you. When submitting, you can consider the following questions:
-
What does this item mean to you?
-
What lesson does it impart?
-
What emotions does it evoke
-
What did it mean to the original owner?
-
What memories do you wish to preserve and share with others?
If these questions resonate with you, I encourage you to share your own story. We hope these personal narratives invite the reader to reflect deeper, consider the value of the present moment and cherish our time on this planet.
