good for you Angel!

My mom kinda was the same way it was nice. she gave a lot away and MADE sure we all had family pieces then did others as gifts to whomever she thought would like them you know b-days and holidays -- kinda nice. She did do somthing that kinda bothered me .... she was VERY hesitant to give my grandmas china to her eldest son, my Bro. becuase he was gay. Now the gay part was not an issue with her -- it was that she wanted it to be "passed-on" and he would have no one to pass it on to. WEll when i learned of how much HE liked it, and i had it more by default than desire -- i got her permission to give it to him ... with the stip that it would come to my eldest somday who loved it too ... he cried at my thoughfulness. He never had told her how it hurt and she never meant it too. As it turns out (after mom's death)he has dumped his life in a well and lives on the street now (or jail?) but before he "dissappeared" he left me a key to storage place where i could get the china .... so ... well the story goes on i'm sure ....
Anyway the point is that it should be enjoyed and used right???

take care
