"This bag is one of my most special possessions, even though the style and pattern of the bag may be outdated or old fashioned, it will always be something I will use and take care of because it belonged to my grandma.

My grandparents were the kindest, most sincere people in this world - they hung mine and my siblings childhood art on their walls and happily came to every play we stared in, even when we played tiny roles.

"My grandma would sometimes give us things that were owned by her and didn't use anymore. So me and my sister got given a beautiful silver necklace, a pokadot scarf and this bag. I wear this bag the most, as it goes with any outfit, yet it still gives a classy look about it.

One summer in 2007, me and my family went on holiday to Florida. It was our first time at Disneyland Florida and we were so happy and excited to be there, but we missed our grandparents every moment we were there.

"Halfway through the second week, we got a call from our uncle. It was so unexpected because we were meant to be coming home soon anyway, but he had bad news, our grandma had passed away in her sleep.

We couldn't believe it. Because, it hadn't been long since we were away and seen her, and she looked well to me. I kept thinking, no this can't be real. It's just some joke. But, sadly it wasn't.

"This is why I take good care of this bag, it's one of the last things my grandma gave to me and wanted me to have. I love it, just like I loved her. I still wear it most of the time, it's one of the few things that reminds me of her, and how she used to be, and our memories together."
