I don't know how the relationship with your sister is, but I have the

impression it is pretty good.

If your sister has received this as a present, and she likes it, I

think she is entitled to keep it. I don't share your view here.

It might be that your sister does not know how badly you have wanted

this. Your mother - BPD or not - has also the right to give something

to whoever she wants to give something to. Even if she has promised

this to you for years. I know it is not nice of your mother not to

keep her promise, and maybe she does it to hurt you, but you should

talk about this to your mother and not to your sister.

Imagine the opposite situation: you get a present from someone and

your sister does not grant you the present because she said it was

promised to her for years.

Just my opinion.

I would take her up on the offer to 'borrow' it and

then I would just not give it back. I get sick of

family members being petty and spiteful to each other.

with me, needing mementoes has been more about trying to

retain a bit of the beloved deceased. This theme has been

played out in the FOO for as long as I remember. Most recently in

my FOO this has revolved around the things of my sister. I know

that her husband chucked huge amounts of her stuff and her

neighbor and friend rescued it. Things like family letters and

photos, books and knick knacks. While it was very painful to think

that we were not offered the stuff, that I was not offered it, as a

result of my being so far away, I sort of don't exist to him except

as an idea. Well....I have some stuff, mostly her clothes and

shoes which I will never wear,but more important things would

be her letters and notebooks --something where I could hear her

voice. But all of this goes back to the beginning of needing to

have something of her....to retain the human bond.

I was thinking last night, that so much pain is about losing her,

so much grief is about wanting her back, but....that won't happen.

The best thing will be in heaven, and I have a dreadfully difficult

time imagining that. Faith is the realm of the eternal...yet, if one

does not have faith, then.....it is even more difficult to retain the

idea of the bond. My faith comes and goes. I maintain the

practice of it, even though the emotions aren't there, I keep going

to mass and depending on it .

As far as stuff from my father and my sister, I have no hope of

getting any, and I tell myself that the most important thing is that

part of them that is mine...my memories, and their finer qualities

that I try to emulate, and living a life on their best values. I do

believe that they are not gone, and they have a connection and

an awareness of us in this life, but I don't understand it at all and

don't try. It is hard to lose people, and harder when the FOO

dynamics are dysfunctional.

in my family....borrowing was basically giving. I have stuff I

borrowed in another country. Mostly books. I've lent stuff to a

brother and friend and in the handing over, I gave it to them.

This gets me into trouble with the library and if they didn't have a

canned goods for fines program I'd be in trouble every year.

However....if sis said to borrow it...borrow it. Then, take a high

quality photo of it so if and when she wants it back, and you

decide to give it to her, you'll have a copy of it.

I have nothing, nothing at all from my father's family. He had two

houses burn down when he was a child. All I have is the

genealogy information and what I glean for myself from internet

research and trips I have been on to the South. I have my name.

As for the back and forth of stuff when people die, oh it is horribly

painful to get trapped in it.

As for using it as emotional ammo....how nada-ish. One more

thing for KO's to deal with.

Cyndie -

Thank you so much for your gentle response. I will

definitely take it to heart. You are absolutely right

that if I do somehow get the picture, that there are

now all these really ugly memories attached to it.

Thanks to all of you for making me see that it's only

a stupid material thing that right now is really

negatively emotionally charged.

Yesterday, after writing about this incident, I was

looking through a box of my old piano music for some

sheet music to a piece I had played many years ago. I

had forgotten one of the movements and wanted to

relearn it. In the box, I found one of my father's

music manuscripts. When he was a young man, before he

was old enough to fight in WWII, he used to listen to

Radio Free Europe and transcribe the swing music that

he heard. He was an amazing talent. Well, the

manuscript with the transcribed swing music is in my

possession, and is more valuable to me than anything

my mother could pass on to me now.

I didn't know I had it. But God is so good, and

doesn't like to see any of His children hurting. As

far as I am concerned, that little book is a treasure

placed in that box by a loving Father.

Thanks all for listening.

Patty

You're very welcome Patty... Gee your post gave me

goosebumps... yes I really do believe that some loving

Father put that manuscript right there at the right

time for you. You have been given what you truly

wanted and needed - something more real and precious

with it's true merit and meaning in tact - something

of your father - a loving memory - with no strings

attached... just love. That's what it's all about.

Peace to You,

Does it actually have to be authentic? I don't have alot of stuff from

my childhood especially pictures, but when clients, friends, coworkers,

travel to Germany, I make copies of all of their pictures. I even got

some pictures of Italy since I didn't get any from the time we went.

Besides the few I found were in black and white.

And nowadays with ebay, alot of things can be replaced.
