After my mom died, my dad sold her China to her friend for a nickel. Which is great, because I would have just taken it to the VV Boutique and donated it.
I kind of miss some of the things my mom had around the house my whole life, but also I'd I kept it all, there wouldn't be room for my stuff. And I'm not putting Trypticon in a box so I can display some Franklin Mint goose plate.
