Because it matched the mirror, I pictured this ceramic ashtray sitting on Grandma’s vanity holding an ever-present Viceroy while she applied her makeup. I gave it to Clare and told her its history. After Clare moved out I assumed she’d taken it but when clearing out her room, I found it in pieces and I can’t seem to let it go.

As part of my training to become a Swedish death purge doula, I advise you to get rid of the ashtray.
On the other hand, I am intrigued by the link Maureen posted.
Maybe now that you have the photo, and have written about it, you’ll be able to let it go? I felt that way about the royal birthday invitation, and have now purged it after keeping it for 25 years.
