I was picking through a storage garbage bag from the attic of some of my 18 year old sons old stuff toys and animals (since he was born) for our new puppy to play with. He quickly grabbed one and said “not this one, Grandma gave it to me”. Grandma had passed years earlier. I then asked if there were any others he’d like to keep and to my surprise there were about 5 more. I placed them back in the storage garbage bag and put them back up in the attic. I hadn’t stopped to consider these were not my things to get rid of and should have asked. I felt a little guilty! Just tell your Mom you’d like to keep it because it holds many memories. I’m sure she’ll understand like I did.

Just tell her and be honest!
