Do you see this?
It was my mothers.
Given to her at age two.
And now it's mine.
Do you see that?
John and I's wedding china.
It's a full set with matching crystal.
Do you want that?
Did you see this?
The musical box on the table?
A gift from John when he traveled to-
Oh I don't remember.
Did you see these?
Three beautiful rings.
John gave me these.
Our 30th, our 40th, our 50th anniversary.
Would you please take a look around?
My entire life displayed.
Will you continue my name?
And hold my sentimental things?
They hold value, did you know?
Antiques preserved with love.
My mother's, her mother's, and now mine.
You can have them, if you'll have have them.
Will you remember?
When I've passed?
Remember their stories?
Remember my stories?
My life was well-lived.
And I loved my John.
Our children have had children.
And they are doing great.
I'm proud of you, my child.
So please keep these family heirlooms.
Pass them to the next.
And think of me.
