Family Jewellery - Do You Have Any

Yes, my mother left me not only jewelry but other old family things that she loved, some valuable and some not, I started giving them to my children and grandchildren years ago. I hope they'll realize the sentimental value and hold on to them. I'll leave my jewelry to my daughter in my will.

Not a good comparison in any way. But I feel compelled to share.

I had a dog. She was fantastic. She'd sleep in my arms right to the end. I had her as a puppy. I never got around to naming her, so her name remained "Puppy". Anyway, she passed, as dogs do. Age. They asked me if I wanted her ashes, and of course I said, "yes".

Biggest mistake I could have made. I look at that urn, I see ashes. She wasn't ashes. I can't throw them away, because it's her. My dog. But damn, I hate those damn ashes. They're like a curse.

Totally get it. I too have dog ashes; in a box; with the collar and dog tag. It was Buddy my flat coat retriever. So there he sits, in a box with his collar (the box locks - why they put a lock on an urn box, I have no clue...who is going to steal dog ashes??), on a bookshelf with his photo beside him. Maybe I will scatter him across the Rockies where we used to roam together.
 
All these posts indicate that it’s the little, loved things that mean the most. It’s special to be able to pass them on.
 

@VaughanJB I have my last two cats ashes and wish I didn't. I will have any other cats cremated in mass cremation and scattered. There is a pet cemetery not too far away. I have their ashes in a drawer. Put the ashes away someplace where you don't see them or scatter them someplace.
