If you don't find them, take a little time to grieve and then set up a plan for a whole new look. In time you may run into something at an antique shop or garage sale that brings tears to your eyes and renews old memories. Your memories will still be there and if it makes you happy you can get it. You may find that you don't want to though because you will realize that those memories won't leave you.

When we moved to our home now, I looked and looked for my beautiful navity set. Couldn't find it anywhere. I asked my husband to go up into the attic and look in every box up there. We even arranged to go back over to the old home (we were renting it out) and looked in the attic there.

The next spring, we were moving things around in the garage, and there it was: in a Penzoil box! Safe and sound. I'm hoping that's how you will find your things.

You may not be able to find them now. However, things can pop up when we aren't looking for them. I too am still looking for some special ornaments in my basement. I haven't given up yet. Good Luck!

Does your car have a trunk? Maybe when you were moving, since this box of items was so special to you, you put it in the trunk of your car and forgot about it. Just a thought.

It seems like the most special stuff I make a point of putting somewhere really safe, or in the case of moving, where nobody else would handle them and possibly break them, and then I forget where that was.

I'm sorry for all that you've suffered. The ornaments are real and symbolic of what you've already lost. However, don't give up. My husband and I thought we had lost a very important possession. We thought we had looked all over, to no avail. Months later I was cleaning aound the fireplace and found it next to the logs, hidden by the log holder. To this day I don't know how it wound up there...the dog? the grandkids? Most likely I got sidetracked and put it down without thinking. So don't give up. The ornaments may reappear when you're looking for something else. Meanwhile, buy some cute ornaments and keep looking. Good luck!

I am sorry for your loss but hang on to the memories. Hopefully, the items will still show up, even if not when expected.
