Just thinking about collector’s cups like limited edition Super Bowl memorabilia or whatever.
I realize that I prefer to use them rather than keep them pristine. I have a Chiefs winner shirt an ex gave me and I just wear it despite her saying it’d probably be worth something someday lol
My father in law died several years ago,
He made some very strong and very fine liquor, once every year. I still have half a bottle of the good stuff, and now I don’t dare to drink it up.
Drink it. Enjoy it. Think of him while enjoying it. One day you’ll be gone too, and someone will pour away what you left behind.
Na. Id agree if it were just a really really expensive bottle but if it’s something that is holding that much sentimental value, save it for when your kid graduates or gets married and share it with those you love on an occasion you feel is so important you wish your deceased was with you to celebrate. Itd be really difficult for me to shake the thought that once it’s gone, they are then symbolically gone too. That or I’d save it for when I truly was past all notions of grieving. Use it as a closing the back cover of a book kind of symbolism.
That’s a tough one. I’m sure he’d love you to enjoy every last drop, but when it’s gone, it’ll be gone.
