After my sister passed I was only able to have a few of her things. The rest was donated. Not my call. Grateful to have what I have. I have moved on from that bitterness.
This stained glass angel actually has her name on it. My brother gave this to her one Christmas. I remember it well.
I edited her name off for personal reasons. It is in special place with other things that were hers.

Lovely post and memory, sorry for your loss.
My pleasure and you’re welcome.
So thoughtful of you to cherish and treasure this.
I also have personal belongings of my loved ones. They always connect us with memories of them.
Yes indeed, they are treasures for sure.
It’s so lovely!
Your siblings seems to be close.
Good memories can help us move forward! 🙂
We were close, I lost both of them. 🙂
Well, I believe they left more than just things but lots of great memories too …
Absolutely I have many memories.
You have a great memory to hold and cherish. I have a similar angel like yours as well.
Yes I do, thank you. It is beautiful.
Memories are good…and sometimes, not so good.
There she is! You are right about those memories, they keep me up on some nights.
ah memories, such a delicate memory of your sister, thanks for sharing Carol!!!
Yes indeed Doc. Happy I have this reminder of my sister.
It reminded me of the one thing my father left me that sits on my desk at home.
Those little things are so precious.
i agree. It is, as you said the little things that help us move forward!
Yes memories always plays key role in our life
Yes, and thank you for commenting.
I’m glad you have something that reminds you of her.
Yes me too, and thank you so much for commenting.
Lovely angel. It good to leave the bitterness behind and savor the sweet memories.
Thank you Dawn for your kindness.
One can actually live on memories I have a favourite corner to reminisce
Yes, the good ones, and I have more good than bad, so they keep me going.
This is a very special keepsake that was my sister’s.
Another comment disappeared. Getting old as this happens every day to me.
That angel is such a beautiful memory, your sister is surely happy that you keep it.
Thanks, I am grateful to have it in my home now.
It is really nice with her name inscribed. Very special.
A very lovely angel even though the memories are sad. I think memories are what keep us closer to the ones we love and the ones we miss. It would not be much of a life without having memories.
Thank you, it is really nice with her name. And very special to have. Could not make it without memories.
I hope those who got her other things will treasure them too.
I will never know, still upset about it but nothing I could do.

Sorry, not sure how the duplicate comment happened.
There are situations beyond our control and we just have to accept them.
That is one good remembrance of your sister.
Thanks, I have to agree with you!
Good memories to have around me all the time.
A beautiful angel and a beautiful memory of a sister. We must have memories because they are part of our lives … good or bad
Thank you, I was so blessed to get this angel. It was very special to her.
Without memories, I could not survive. I know you understand.
