<p>[QUOTE=&quot;masterswimmer, post: 3686142, member: 102022&quot;]I learned a valuable lesson from my grandparents. Since we can&#039;t take any of our &#039;things&#039; with us, and we do get enjoyment from these &#039;things&#039;, why not get even more enjoyment by seeing the face and expression of gratitude on the recipients face while we are still here? </p><p><br /></p><p>I intend to slowly give my things to my children and grandchildren to pique their interest in my things. If I don&#039;t see their excitement, the next giveaway will be something from a different collection. Hopefully something I have will elicit some kind of joy we can both share. </p><p><br /></p><p>Even if everything I have would be well received by all after my demise, I still would want to share while I can see their face. </p><p><br /></p><p>This thought has been proven more poignant because of my mother in law. The woman is 85 and doesn&#039;t have many &#039;things&#039;. However she does have a few and she refuses to pass anything whatsoever to any human. Everything she has will be divvied up and go to whomever. There&#039;ll be no rhyme or reason as to who gets anything. But more important, she won&#039;t get to share in any enjoyment the recipient expresses.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
