Definition:
A memento is something small yet meaningful—chosen for the memory it preserves rather than its value. It might recall a moment, a person, or a place that shaped a part of life. The object becomes a quiet anchor to times that would otherwise fade. Even worn or simple items can carry powerful sentiment when held as mementos. The word reflects the intimate link between memory and physical form.
