I have the Teddy Bear that I was given when I was born. I slept with it for many years.
My mom died when I was 44. A couple years later, my sister was helping to clear out my parent's house and found my Teddy Bear stored away. She gave it to my wife who showed it to me. It was way smaller than I remembered. The eyes had been replaced with buttons a few times. And the velour had worn down to brown fabric.

My maternal great grandmother bequeathed me an ornate Japanese vase. I had apparently admired it when I was very, very young.

I became fascinated by dinosaurs at an early age. My mom saved my box of plastic toy dinosaurs and my sister passed them on to me when she cleaned out our parent's house.

I'm already out for the day, so I can't send you a picture, but I have a small piggy bank that was actually my mom's when she was a little bitty kid. It's a little black-and-white dog, so I guess it's a doggy bank :-) I'm already out for the day, so I can't send you a picture, but I have a small piggy bank that was actually my moms when she was a little bitty kid. It's a little black-and-white dog, so I guess it's a doggy bank :-) My curious George Doll is still at my parents house.

Yes, many people have cherished possessions from childhood that hold sentimental value, even if they can't recall exactly how they've managed to keep them all these years. These items often evoke memories of simpler times, offering comfort and a tangible link to the past. Whether it's a well-loved stuffed animal, a favorite book, or a piece of jewelry, these possessions serve as reminders of who we were and where we came from. Despite the passage of time and the challenges of life, holding onto these childhood treasures brings a sense of continuity and connection to one's roots.

I have binky. I’m actually surprised it’s survived so many years. I used to be a I get sucker and binky ( a grey blanket) used to always sit on my bed for when it was time to finger suck.
my mom put it away once I stopped ducking my fingers but it’s kinda been the one thing I cannot throw away.

I still have it- a cross my maternal grandpa hand-made- but I DO recall how it followed me. He was very skilled and could solder and braze quite well, even when all he had was an old-fashioned blowtorch!

Anyway, he made a set of stand-up candelabras for his church, a smaller one for the altar, plus an upholstered wooden kneeler. He had some scrap brass and made my mom a smaller (11" high or so) brass cross on a brass base, and now I have it.

I have a couple pine wood derby cars from cub scouts when I was 10 or so. My father was an engineer and just cut a flat piece of wood that he filled with lead. It took first place but they didn't give us the trophy because they said he did to much. It was pretty competitive where we were and the fathers did most anways.
