A Battered Old Saucepan

It may seem strange to write about a battered old saucepan but this was no ordinary one it sprung a leak the other day sadly without thinking I threw it away and now it's gone. It had been in my family before I was born and it was used every day it broke my heart after to throw it away. For all the delicious soups goulash and past it had contained the mouth watering delectable smells from the kitchen the shouts from my parents ''Come on now set the table dinners made''. All the red hot broths and porridge we'd scoff before school on a winters day all the laughs tears and conversations around the dinner table before it was was washed and put away. It was more than a simple saucepan because it held a lot of family memories now my parents sadly passed away it was one of the last things to remind me of how things used to be and mow I have to buy a new one and accept it's demise like my family it's gone forever.
