« It's hard on all of us | Main | And when this is over I'll never have to see her again »

I am exhausted. Dividing stuff up is tiring. But I managed to get my mother's wedding dress, my dad's military uniform, the wedding rings, and some artwork - most of which was painted by my mother. My sister was only interested in anything antique and valuable, or any jewelry that was valuable. She also had a list in her head of some other items that she wanted, but um, my mom gave those items to me looooooong ago. It was very interesting the things she had not a care in the world for, and even things she sniffled up her nose to - like the christening dress that she and I both wore, and so did my daughter and so did her daughter. She not only didn't want it, but made some dirisive comments that she only had her daughter wear it because it was so important to my mother, and she thought it would have been much more special to have made her daughter's dress, than to have her wear the one her own mother wore.
And then she made fun of a lot of stuff, and even made comments about "my mother must have been getting old if she thought this was cute."

Whatever. I got the christening dress, and Buffy said she would love to have her own daughter wear it. It's beautiful. My sister sucks.
