Here's a reprint of a story published January 1, 2004:
Hi! I enjoy your newsletter so much! This morning one of your
stories made me think.... I collected "everything" for years! Had a house
full! Things given to me & others that I bought when we were out & about. One
day a young friend brought her new baby over to visit me & she had a fit over
all my Fiesta....she had been buying a little piece here & there and her family
was giving it to her as gifts! She had loved Fiesta for a long time & hoped
someday to have a wonderful collection! So that day I felt like I should give
her my pieces! Why wait until I'm gone...that could be years! My only
stipulation was that she enjoy them, use them & pass something of hers on to
someone who will enjoy it. Since that time I've given away hundreds of
things....it seems I always find more! Instead of waiting until I'm gone I get
the enjoyment of seeing everyone enjoy the things now! And everyone knows that
unless they REALLY want something not to mention it to me....because it will
be theirs! I don't miss those things! I get so much pleasure knowing that
they are so valued & loved by someone ho can enjoy them NOW!... Janet
We think this is a great topic - When I Die: stories from our readers about how
