When my granmother died in 1948 the children (except my dad we lived to far away) went thru all the stuff in the house. They left my grandfather one plate 1 skillet, one set of silverware, and one sit of bedding. One place to sit down and a bed. Everything else went with them. I don't know what possessed my grandfather to let them do this to him. Anyway--we made sure this horror story was not repeated in our family. When we lost mom we vowed not to touch anything until dad said we could. We came in from making the arrangements and dad looked at the tv where some of her jewelry was and told us to get it and the rest and split it. We did as we were asked but to me it was a little soon. Daddy was left with everything intact. Things got lost over the next 10 years and I regret that but nothing I can do about it.

Well I know now that I wasn't the only one that got stiffed in life.But I look at it this way I don't have to answer for it to my maker.Only those greedy ones will.
