I have a few items I will never get rid of - and some things were given to DS and now handed down to GS, specifically books.

I agree also that every child should have a new stuffed animal to love.

Thank you all for your wonderful thoughts and suggestions. Yesterday, was a particularly difficult day for me. It had been a month since I lost a dear sister. When I opened that storage bin and discovered those cute "friends" (now, I must say, that last statement sounds a little crazy), I was particularly taken back with sentiment. This morning, I feel much better. I have a curio cabinet on my bedroom dresser and, have decided to set a few "friends" in the cabinet for now. Thank you again for all your thoughts.

I'm so sorry about your loss, bobcat.

Keep your mementos, I gave away too much when my mother died. I wish I hadn't.

One way I keep her alive in my heart is that I use recipes of hers for each holiday, including my birthday. It makes her a part of our lives

Keep them, where's the harm? It's not like they cost a fortune to feed.

I made shadowboxes for my walls with items and photos of each person. They are with me everyday.

I know how you feel, I lost a sister at the beginning of this year (the second day in fact). I would never get rid of anything that reminded me of her. I think your decision to put a few 'friends' in a curio cabinet is a good one.

Yes, they always say don't do anything drastic shortly after a loved one has passed. Best wishes for comfort for you, and enjoy keeping your dear sister's items close to you.
