Whistle

Elizabeth Dawn

.  So my name is Elizabeth Dawn of Memoirtistry.com and the item I chose of meaning, is this whistle. It was my grandpa's whistle, my mom's dad, he passed away in 2003. And this was one of the only items of his that I got to hold onto. It's very dirty. I've never cleaned it, which could be pretty disgusting, but I don't care. In fact, if it was clean, I, I might not value it as much because I liked, I like to consider that the dirtiness of this still includes some of my grandpa; pieces of his breath inside of the dirt and dust held inside the whistle. So I carry this on my keys, because I wanna have it with me anytime I leave the house. And, I think it still works. [Whistle Blowing] It does. And I felt no disgust putting my mouth on this because it's my grandpa. Don't care. Anyway, that's my item.
