Keep them! Keep them! Keep them!!! Put them away for now. In years to come, they will bring comfort to you and your family. What an heirloom to pass down in the family - the picture one with your mom & family... you can't beat that!!
My mom gave me back a quilt I'd made for my folks years ago. She never used it, said it was too pretty to use, and didn't want it ruined, so gave it back to me before she died! I told her to keep it and use it, but she wanted me to have it back....
