| My mother had two antique cookie tins that she used to store Christmas cookies in since before I was born.  I washed one of them in the dishwasher, this morning, just as I have dozens of times; and my mother a hundred times before.  When I pulled it out, all the paint was gone - just bare metal.  I'm devastated.  One of my most treasured childhood memories is gone... ruined!
 I know it's just a thing, but it feels like a part of me just died.
