When mum died my lad was setting up his first home with his then girlfriend, now wife. Lots of mum's furniture and other items went to help him start out.
To this day he has a round pine dining table that still has the edges adorned with the small sticky vinyl labels that used to be on apples from supermarkets. Dad used to remove the apple label and stick it to the table, much to mum's disgust. The lad still has one of mum's easy chairs and lots of kitchen ware. I go over to his and am fondly reminded of mum and dad.
I've got plants from both mum and MiL that bring back memories of their gardens. The whole house if filled with sentimental stuff, merely because I don't throw anything away.
