I have a shirt of my dad's that I wear every Christmas. Other than that, all I have is an old gun he brought back from WWII. He was always going to fix it up but never did. He gave it to me when he died, and it has been in my basement for 18 years. I plan to sell it this summer after I retire. I have what I want from my dad - wonderful memories, and that is enough.
