 Does anyone have things that belonged to your loved one that you just want to hang onto?

I want to keep a necklace watch my mom had. It has a beautiful religious picture. It is kind of silly but it makes me feel like I have a little bit of her.

Does anyone else do this?

I have dystonia, neuropathy, gerd, arthritis, and fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel and other ailments. I enjoy embroidery,music, and reading my Bible and Christian books. I love to bake. I try to be very supportive and positive.

 Mom was an advid Elvis Presley fan. I have most of her Elvis things. I will not part with that memorabilia. We both enjoyed Elvis music and seeing impersonator shows. Mom died this past summer same month and day as Elvis. Maybe he's singing to her live.
