Answer:
It is a precious gold necklace that my mother received from my grandmother, which belongs to my great grandmother. It is a ritual in our family that mother-in-law gifts the chain as a part of the legacy to their daughter-in-Law. One day my mother will also forward it to my daughter-in-law. As I said, it is a gold necklace it is quite expensive. It has a unique antique design, and such kind of chains are extremely rare because of hand carving. Along with gold, there are white pearls and rectangle rubies, which makes it even more attractive.

We had photographs of my great grandmother, grandmother, and my mother wearing the same necklace. It is undoubtedly precious because of gold, but it is even more precious because of the emotion attached to it. I hope my family will preserve this precious ornament for the generation to come.
Answer:Some of the medical books, which were once owned and used by my paternal grandfather, are still kept with great care in our house. This topic reminds me of those books that I believe are some of the oldest objects that we have at our home.
My grandfather was a doctor and he had a great number of medical books and reference books. When he died, I was just a 5 years old kid, and now I can hardly remember things about him. But I heard that he was a great person and a superb doctor. Everyone in our locality revered him very much. After his death, my father took one of his used tables, an armchair, and a big portrait of my grand-grandfather and some of his books to preserve his memory. Among those things, my grandfather’s medical books have survived, and they are still present on a bookshelf at our house.
Those books would be no less than 50 to 60 years old, and we have them on our bookshelf for the last 20 years. The caretakers in our house sometimes bring out those books, clean dust from them, and finally, put them back on the shelf again.
I once tried to read a few pages from those books when I was a young schoolboy, and I remember that they had a strong smell. I tried to interpret what the writings in those books were about, but except for a few pictures, I did not understand anything. Basically, they are medical-science-related terms and that's why seemed jargon to my young mind.
My family has kept these books as a reminder of my grandfather's memory. My father loved my grandfather very much, and my grandfather was very fond of him too. These books are the only tangible belongings that were used by my grandfather. So they, in a way, convey my grandfather's reminiscences. Though these books do not have their material value, they are priceless to our family and remind us of the precious memory of our grandfather.
