A soccer ball as a folk object

My special object is a soccer ball, which is now on a shelf in my room. I used it when I was small, from 4 to 13 years old, with my father and my friends. First, the ball was all white, but I used it on the street and everywhere, so now it's dirty, completely brown, and is so flat that it can’t be used anymore.

My grandpa gave it to me, then shortly thereafter, I decided to play soccer. This is why I played soccer for 15 years. My grandpa already passed away, so the ball is a memento that can connect me to my grandfather.
