My dad died when I was young, and I don't really have much left of his. A pair of nice gold cufflinks, his old leather chair, his red scarf from Pamplona, a couple of his old cycling jerseys.
I also had a gold rotary watch that was his fathers. It was very old fashioned and not really an expensive or collectable watch, all it did was sit in a drawer. I never wore it, i never would in the future, and it didn't really mean anything to me (unlike his jerseys, or his chair) so I sold it. got a few hundred quid simply for scrap, price of gold being what it is. I've bought some clothes and a nice pair of headphones (I listen to a lot of music) and put a bit in my savings account.
am I a heartless bastard, or did i do the sensible thing. I keep on thinking I'll regret it, but I don't know why.
