Oh, the Little Details



I took Grandmother’s charm bracelet and added my charm and Mom’s charm, also engraved with my birthdate. I took my cousins' charms off for them to get. I will pass the bracelet to Lauren because it represents her grandmother and great-grandmother. I can’t wait to wear it.


I wanted to make sure my cousins did not mind if I kept the bracelet, so I messaged them and hoped no one cared. No, I did not have to do this even though their charms were on the bracelet. One may think I shouldn’t have said anything, but I wanted a clear conscience. I did what was right, and they did not care.


Dad gave me two neat pennants the preachers brought as they visited Grandmother. I like the one made with two nails shaped like a cross.

 

 UHave you considered how you will act regarding your loved one’s belongings? (Should little items be put in a will?)U

 UIf there are items you want certain people to have, can you do it in private because other family members may wish to have their possessions, too?    U

UMany relatives from out of town will gather for a funeral. Have you considered communicating your plans to others so everyone can see each other? A simple gathering such as a last-minute meal with a few relatives may mean a lot to someone.U
