Message: <blockquote data-quote="shorton" data-source="post: 1923085" data-attributes="member: 24855"><p>Couple of years ago my grandfather on my dad's side passed away. My grandmother decided that everything would go into the estate auction, because she couldn't take care of a 160 acre farm by herself. Her thought process was, if it has sentimental value to you, then bid on it. My grandfather had several items that different members of the family wanted, including several guns. Nothing anyone wanted left that property with someone other than a family member, and my grandmother now has a small home in town and a new car, which she has never had before, to use in her remaining years. If she hadn't done what she did, we would still be sifting through years of accumulated stuff. Most of what we accumulate in our lives is just that, stuff. I agree that there are things that we just shouldn't let go, the hunting rifle my father gave me will never leave my hands, but things that are gathering dust in a closet might be a treasure to someone else. Just my humble opinion.</p></blockquote><p></p>
