Many people have cherished possessions. For some it could be a stuffed animal that they told everything and couldn’t go a place without it, or a blanket they carried everywhere they went from playing outside to cuddling with it to go to sleep.

I now have those beautiful china cups placed in my cabinet, which belonged to my great grandmother who lived in Germany. Those cups are a part of my family that I never had the chance to meet.
All of these items have sentimental value to me. My mother was my best friend. She was always there for me when I needed her. Night or day, Rain or Shine. She taught me my values in life. I carry her with me in my spirits and smile. When I get home and go to my bedroom, I see my china hutch in the corner with the picture of my mother being the first thing I see. My china hutch lets me remind my children of the wonderful women my mother was and how much she loves them. The hutch gives a sense of my mother’s presence and remains throughout my
