what is it about seperating myself from things ......... i get so attached ................... so many memories ........... this isn't even mine .................................... this was my Marah's favorite, beloved piece from my Mom's collection ............................................... it was the first item Marah chose when we were selling and dividing Mom & Daddy's things ............. at that time not married, i have stored it here at our home .................... it was in Daddy's room while he was still here ........................... and then moved to the garage ....................... 
covered with sheets ........... never seen ....................... never enjoyed by someone ................................ we have decided it is time to pass it on ....................... Marah's beloved piece, she has no room for ................... except for all those wonderful memories from Nannie's house ...................... and in her heart forever ! ...................... if she is at peace with it.......i should be as well ........................................ as Marah said "it has been loved by every house it has been in ........................ may it be loved again !
........................................................... i am blessed !

Oh - I so know you pain (and the blessing that gives way to that pain). Seems like the older I get, the harder it is for me to let go....I thought it was supposed to be the opposite! That is truly a beautiful piece....But so true - it will be loved again. Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
I, too, understand how hard it is to part with treasures like that piece.... We are downsizing and I have to get rid of some things, but am finding it just too difficult to let go of some of them. I know the memories are in our hearts, but sometimes just looking at things puts me at peace..... Oh my.... so difficult....
So you and I are in the same boat! I'm sure we'll be able to find our treasures some good homes where they will be loved as much as we have loved them...... Fingers crossed!!
oh, that is sad........hard to let go....but if she is ok with it, that should help, shouldn't it???
