Another item would be a “Chal”, it is like a small blanket that helps you carry you’re new born. It has a special meaning to me because it was a gift from my grandmother when I had my first child and I used it with all my three children. In order to give up any the three items would be extremely difficulty, and if I would have to choose one it would be my album of photos. They would be the item that would represent my culture, believes and values and the one that I could continue sharing with my children as well as to others.
An important insight that I gained from this assignment, is that my spiritual believes as well as my family are the foundation of my culture. That it is of extreme importance that I pass these to my children and their children as a way of not forgetting who we are, where we come from and what we believe.
Hi Isabel - We think alot alike. My family and baby photos are very important to me also. I think it is great that you have a blanket that has been passed down from your family. I would love to have a personal item like that to share with my children.

ReplyDeleteMaria I am sure that the blanket is soft and cuddly and your grandmother gave it with love for your child. I also think that beliefs and family are the foundations of our culture.
ReplyDeleteMaria I can imagine that the blanket is soft and cuddly and I am sure your grandmother gave it with love to your children. I think that belief and family is the foundation of culture and you have a lot to take with you to another country
ReplyDeleteI agree with you Isabel. I would take my photo album as well. Remembering loved ones is what makes me smile especially those that are far away from me. Congratulations on the 21 years, you and your husband have. I just celebrated 6 years of marriage and 15 of being together with mine.
