My Aunt’s Charm Bracelet

I inherited my Aunt Nancy’s charm bracelet. Every little dangle tells a story about her life — places she’d been (charms from Alberta, Manitoba and Kitchener-Waterloo) and achievements (a graduation cap, a 747). There are a few mysterious charms, however, like a Russian Orthodox cross and a disc engraved “Grade 6 Vanier 1973.” My dad asked if I was going to add any of my own charms to the bracelet, but I’m going to preserve it as is.
