Everyone is different. Memories are held in your heart and mind. We lost everything, even family heirlooms, to identity theft and the fallout after. I was able to give my daughter the things she wanted and the things my sisters wanted before the court executor took control. It is amazing to see what each person valued most....my daughter has the box with her christening gown which I made and my charm bracelet I had from birth, each of my sisters took photos and put them on one of the picture frames that play the photos over and over....I gave each one a piece of larimar and a piece of amber jewelry that was bought by my husband for me as we vacationed in the DR from out 30th wedding anniversary until our permanent move here. The only thing I brought was my heart and memories. Our new life is our journey of life until we are called by a higher power, each moment is a memory we share and cherish....I grieved for weeks when the courts took my wide gold wedding band with a 1kt diamond which my husband placed on it on our 30th wedding anniversary...but I now realize I have HIM and that is all that matters, besides I would not have been able to wear that ring here, and had I had it in the safe of the home we used to live in which was robbed I would have lost it anyway.....enjoy what matters most, your life and those you share it with...
