A cross.

What’s the oldest things you’re wearing today?

It’s a necklace that belonged to my grandma. I’m not religious at all, I wear it for the family history rather than anything else.

When I was younger, my mum used to give it me on difficult days or days she said I needed luck. I started asking for it on days when I was nervous as I got older, as it made me feel like my mum was there with me.

When she was dying she said I could have the necklace, and I put it on then and haven’t taken it off, apart from when I had to get the chain repaired, since.
