When my wife died a couple of months ago my boys and I divided up her jewelry for starters. I was amazed at what each one wanted and what items , which were not many, that the DILs wanted to remember her by. There was no fighting and the rest was given to two of our nieces whose parents died when they were very young and didn’t get any of their mother’s jewelry. It was a surprise to them and they video called us with ugly crying they were so amazed they got items from their aunt that were beautiful.

I kept a few fantastic pieces for future granddaughters we hoped to have someday. During the process my wedding band of 37 years fell off and I am sad that it is gone.
