history: My grandmother passed away two weeks in 2005.   She had given me all of her Christmas decorations a few years before that.  Her death made me appreciate that even more than ever
current: My most treasured item is her ornament that she had for her cat Barney.   That cat was her world. 
next: I had a cat named Barney too! We was a one-eyed grey tabby. What kind of ornament is it?
