Rings.

Recently my dad gave me a ring of my grandfather's.  It is a gold band with a round bit at the front which has two scratches on from it simply having always been worn.  On the inside of that ring is the name "Freddie" engraved.  Freddie is a nickname of the abbreviation Fred, coming from Winifred, which is my grandmother's name.

My grandmother died when my dad was 17.  My grandfather died a long, long time after that; my dad was over forty when he died.  My dad doesn't remember my grandfather ever not wearing the ring.

I want someone who would do that.
