re: What’s the one item that you would leave behind

I inherited my Father's old Toyota station

wagon, from before the days when Toyota made infallible vehicles. It was tan. It smelled of his pipe smoke. That was too much memory and too sad. I went to an auto paint place, told them the problem, asked for their cheapest solution.

Their paint was set up to do pick up truck blue. So the exterior and limited parts of the interior because pick up truck blue and that killed most of pipe smoke scent as well.

The good memories of them and my grandparents include my Granny's rocking chair, her ancient bread knife, her bread board, and my Grandfather's portrait. From them and my parents, every dividend check from interhited stocks four times a year. And a lot of my solid wood furniture.
