Prompt: Write about an object that holds sentimental value and why it’s important to you.

 I still have my old dog’s collar even though he passed away years ago. It’s worn out from all the years he wore it but it holds so many memories. Every time I look at it I remember his bark and how he’d wag his tail when I came home. The collar reminds me of the love and friendship we shared. It’s a small piece of him that I’ll always keep close to my heart.
