Prized Possession

 

    My grandma loved cats so much, she had cat figurines everywhere in her house. When she passed, my dad told Erin and I that we could have a cat figurine that his mom would  keep around the house. We got to choose one of the thousands that she had, and I chose a cat about five inches long, three inches wide, and about three and a half inches tall. It is white  with some brown spots along its body. The tail is underneath a leg , its eyes are yellow, and it looks very alert.

    Big Momma had a cat, and fell in love with cats. She began buying many figurines of cats. Erin and I would look at them in awe because they were so beautiful. When she passed away, we put all the cats into boxes. When we were done, Erin and I got to go through them and choose the one that we wanted to keep. After I chose my cat, I named it Shadow, even though it wasn’t black.

    This is my most prized possession because it is the only thing I have left of my grandma. She passed when I was in the fifth grade, so I didn’t know her very well. All I really remember was her blueberry muffins and how much she loved cats. My family went on a family trip and she went with us. With the very little memories that I have of her, this possession is my most prized one because it is a part of her that will always stay with me.
