When I was 8 my grandfather took me to the mall and bought me a cursive gold 'Breanna' pin. I wore it for years until a few months ago when it fell off my blazer in Mexico City and was never seen again.
About a week ago my grandfather passed away and I've spent the last few days back home with family catching up, reminiscing and clearing out some of my grandfather's possessions. Without a doubt my favourite memento I was able to bring back to Toronto is this 'Mr. Bird' pin (that looks exactly like my lost 'Breanna' pin) which allows me to take a little piece of my grandfather wherever I go.
