There are many things in our lives that we pass on to others.  You may have traditions in your family that are passed down from generation to generation.  How you celebrate certain holidays, the way that you allow the birthday boy or girl to choose what’s for dinner on their birthday, celebrating all the birthdays in a given month together as a family, whatever the case may be.

Then there may be other things that you pass on, clothes are passed down from older siblings to younger siblings, maybe toys too.  But wouldn’t it be memorable to purchase an item for yourself that you could pass down to your daughter as a keep sake, an item to help remember you by, even after you are gone. An item to remmber you by when you can’t be there with her.

I own an item like this.  Though I never knew the original owner of this item, a birthstone ring, that originally belonged to my great-great grandmother, it is still an item of importance and signifcance to me.  I wore it as my “something old” in my wedding and I value and cherish the fact that I have it and that it has been passed down in the generations before me to all the granddaughters who had November birthdays.  My grandmother actually gave it to me when I turned 18.  For all the years prior, she had told me about this ring and finally gave it to me when I got old enough to appreciate it.

Maybe you could do something similar with your daughter and a special item that you can “pass on” to her.
