High School Keepsakes
I love when I come across keepsakes, something little that holds some sentimental value to a family member who is no longer with us. This is a great example. My paternal uncle kept his high school cafeteria pass and his high school Driver Education Certificate. They must have been a reminder of some good times he had in high school. For someone like me, it gives a glimpse into my family member's life.
