Hi friends who like words!

About a year ago, I met someone who gathers writings about items, treasures really, that once belonged to a loved one. This past week, my writing about my grandfather's belt was published on her IG account called The Keepthings!

Please read and check out the other relatable stories on The Keepthings. What treasures do you keep to remind you of a loved one who has flown from Earth?
