Just that mom is giving stuff away that means something to her. My mom has a collection of tea cups. Most were given to her by my grandmother or other relatives. She gave them away because she knows she can't use them anymore. All the women relatives got to go through them. I didn't get any because I'm not attached. It was really hard on my mom's sister. Aunt Gail completely broke down. She would only take one cup because <q>I don't have a lot of room. I just gave a bunch of tea cups to Laura and I only need one to remember my best sister by.</q> Even before that I was having a hard time, just cause it brings home how little time left she has. This was effectively her last Christmas. If she is alive next year she will be restricted to a bed or wheelchair. They aren’t hugely significant for themselves.

I agree with ryanlion, though, that this must be really important to her. I'm glad you guys are able to share that with her, however hard it is. I hope you find a way to get through it in tact.
