[QUOTE="Lil, post: 745123, member: 17309"] Personally, I'd hold on to heirlooms, if they are something small and easily stored in boxes. You never know what the future will bring. Furniture, I'd either use myself or find another relative maybe who wants it? Sadly, you can't give anything to them right now, you're right. I texted my son to see if there was anything he wanted when we started cleaning out his room. We're saving a small box of things from his closet...his rock collection, pretty stones he picked out as a kid, was surprisingly high on his list! There were a few other things too that he wanted us to hold on to, but most he just didn't care about. I did hold on to a few other things, toys that were his, etc., that I figured I might have a grandchild someday to play with them, and I saved his yearbooks and a few letters I wrote him - back in days when I was still trying to encourage him. I'd give my right arm for a letter from my mom...maybe someday he'll appreciate them. Everything we're saving for him will probably fit in a banker's box. [/QUOTE]
