I love this. Energy stays with things long after our physical bodies have given up their expression. This is why I love wandering through antique stores. I wish I could say I have a relic like this from someone I’ve lost. I can’t say that I do. But I know they’re true. And if I ever did have one, I’d hold it near and close.
This is so beautiful this way of remembering how love feel through an object. For me it’s the place where my grandmother lived. This home is about to be sold and I’m trying to not hold on the memories of that place. I’m so scared they’re going to fade away.
This brought tears to my eyes, Patricia. It is exquisite. I have several items that connect me to my mum who passed last year and I love using them through my day as a reminder of her essence. Although not a relic, I have something from my dad more precious than anything. He died when I was 14 and in my autograph book (which was a thing in the 70s), he had written ‘roses are red, violets are blue, you are my daughter and I love you’. To have his handwriting as well as his love is so precious to me. Thank you for giving me this perspective on seeing these precious items as relics ❤️
They are relics, love. So beautiful, so deep, and so incredibly human…our need for the tangible. I’m so happy this touched you, and brought you into the place where this love lives… Lots of love to you 🤍😘
More tears flowing… my own tangible items bring me closer to those I loved and lost decades ago. Reading of your sweet nieces connection to her precious mamas shirts reminds me of my young heart aching to be closer, clinging to anything that would remind me of them. These tangible items now bring a smile, a warm feeling of love and so much gratitude for the love lived and experienced that they represent. I am also mindful that that love has continued to be felt in a very tangible way through these precious items.
Sweet prayers for your niece and husband as each of them mourn these tremendous losses. And for you as you hold them so close to your heart while you too mourn 🤍🙏🏻

I love this Tori, I think about this during antique shopping too. 🤍
