my parents' estate is finally settled.
the family home has been sold.
i don't know if i mentioned it here, but i was the one who went into the house, cleared out the fridge, got rid of the spoileds, donated the clothing and the food, and then created a website for the family with pictures of alll the household furnishings and leavings so everyone could ask for things ... if there were duplicates, names were drawn from a hat.
long story short ... the thing i wanted went missing. an old cannister set that was in my folks' kitchen since i was born. all 35 or so family members say no one has seen it ... it's presumed tossed in the trash, although someone may have taken it home even though it was labeled for me. it's my own fault that it sat a while .... i was there so often, labeling things for people. i never dreamed it would go away. such a silly thing, yet it makes my heart hurt.
here is the question: every so often, i look on ebay to see if there is a similar set for sale. now i've found one. if i buy it, will i feel better do you think? will it fill the void even though it's not THE one?
