Show And Tell

The object I would bring for show and tell would be, these rings that are my grandmothers. Well technically they are also mine. My grandma has these two rings that she has worn since I could remember. They are so beautiful they have an old feeling about them, and they come with a past. She has these amazing stories that she always tells about where they came from, how she got them, who gave them to her, etc. If you saw them then you would know what I mean. They are a certain type of turquoise jewelry, big rings, definitely noticeable.

She has this will that she wrote ahead of time for when her time comes, and she told me that when she passes away that they are mine. They will be given down to me because she sees how I am always admiring them. So they will belong to me. Everybody knows that your grandparents always have the best stories to tell because they've been around longer than most and they have really experienced it all. My grandma isn't much for jewelry, so seeing how she never takes those rings off, that shows you that they must be that much important. You always have that one item that means the world to you that you cant help but keep close to your heart, and one day that will be mine.

The main reason that they're so important to me is because my grandmother was recently diagnosed with lung cancer and we are not sure how much longer we have with her, so having the thing closest to her heart right now makes it less harder to lose her. Unfortunately not enough. You always need something to remember a dear person by, and those rings she wears on her bare hands will do it for me. She is the person that pretty much started our family. She is the one that holds our family together. Those rings may be old and worth a lot one day, but my grandma is worth more than anything I can do with the rings.

Show and tell is a time to bring and talk about something that is worth bragging about and something to be proud of sharing with the world, something that belongs to my grandmother is definitely worth anything I can share about it. She is the dearest person to my heart and I hope those rings that are close to her heart, will fill the deep hole inside when she does go to a better place. When her rings are on me, her memory will be deep within me.
