I, Object

How many stories need retelling for this object to achieve sentimental value? Does importance have an expiration date that’s reached when no one‘s left to gather in celebration? How many years must elapse before this object becomes a family heirloom? Does perpetuating an affiliation to the past become burdensome to those living in the present? How many memories are required to turn this mundane object into a cherished keepsake? Does nostalgia become obsolete after multiple generations are gone? Is my legacy inevitably doomed to suffer the same fate as this object?
