Monday Memories #5

"It's funny how many different things trigger memories for us as we grow older, isn't it? Maybe you can share a story of one of your grandparents or any relative that holds a special place in your heart."

Just this morning when my husband, my daughter and I are about to go out for breakfast, I saw my land lady's coffee cup on top of the bench under the mango tree where she always sit in the morning and in the afternoon to have a cup of coffee or two. It was a white ceramic cup with flower details and blue lining on the rim. The same ceramic cup my mother used to make her coffee as well. My mother just love collecting mugs, glasses, plates, figurines and pictures. Although we already know that she love to make collections of those things, my siblings and I were still surprised to see all of those when she passed away. He has a huge collection. We just don't know what to do with those collections, I mean who or where we will keep them. They are precious to us because they are my mother's. A lot of memories are on her things. It's just a pity that today, some of her collections especially the display cabinet was already damaged. Nostalgic..
