Heirloom

An heirloom is something special that has been passed down from one family member to another. It could be a piece of jewelry, a toy, or even a plant that has been in the family for a very long time.

Think of it like a really important treasure that your grandparents or great-grandparents gave to your parents, and they want to give it to you one day when you're older so you can keep passing it down to your children and grandchildren.

Sometimes heirlooms can be really old and valuable, like an antique piece of furniture that is really unique and has been in the family for generations. Other times, they can be something simpler that just holds a lot of sentimental value and reminds the family of their ancestors.

The cool thing about an heirloom is that it connects you to your family's history and helps you feel closer to your ancestors, even if you never met them. So, if your parents or grandparents give you an heirloom one day, make sure to take good care of it, because it's a piece of your family's story!
