When my mom passed in 1987, I asked for and got 1 thing, it was a cedar chest I remember from earliest days, and as long as I was "aware" it was always there. My sister and brother got all the "expensive, crystal, china, silver, and jewlery." To me it wasn't about the loot, I was just too devastated with grief. I already had every thing I wanted, and about 6 months before my mom passed she had given me some very special trinkets that meant the world. Needless to say I have never regretted that decision, and plan to pass out my stuff to my kids, long before the day arrives that they may get bruised feelings over it, or show their "not so nice side". You did the right thing and there is a very special FW out there for you.:)
