What h...My Dad passed away 8 years ago this month. What he left me was a mountain of interesting collections, and over the years I have parted with many things that I remember so clearly being a part of my childhood.<br />But when it came to his truly personal effects, I was reluctant to let go. This was an extraordinarily difficult month financially, and I decided to part with the watch my Mom gave to him in 1946, still running. I know the details because, true to form, it had a little sticker to that effect in my father's hand affixed to the back. <br />Dad wanted me to get rid of his things. I truly believe that was his inheritance left for me to disperse as I saw fit or needed to. I have to work for it, just as he had to work to accumulate it. <br />So these next months will find me getting rid of some truly treasured items. Maybe.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03830523552112476698noreply@blogger.com
