One of my grandmother’s plates broke

I didn’t keep all the pieces. But I saved one small fragment—a reminder of family, comfort, and love. Sometimes, letting go doesn’t mean forgetting. It just means remembering differently.

A Quiet Lesson

Life is fragile, just like that plate. Things break. Time moves forward. But the love and lessons passed down through generations don’t disappear when an object does.

Final Thought

If something meaningful breaks in your life, don’t rush to replace it. Take a moment to honor what it stood for. Because memories, like recipes passed down through families, live on long after the dish is gone.
