Family history

My mum brought this silver baby cup last time she came to visit us. It has a history - four generations of history, now! This cup was given to my Dutch great grandmother when she was born. It was in turn given to my mother at her birth, and then traveled to the US where it was eventually given to me at my birth. My mum just added Flynn QiuQiu's name to those engraved on the cup, four generations, two on each side. Holland (both my great grandmother and my mother were born there), New York, and China. It is treasured.

Oh what a beautiful and priceless treasure, one I am sure QQ will one day lovingly hand down to her own daughter.
