I agree with everyone else. Keep them, at least for now. I believe you'll want the option to be able to look at them if you ever feel compelled.
My grandma passed away seven years ago. I only have a few photos of her but they're of when she was younger. I got a call from my mother a few weeks ago and she mentioned that she had the bangles my grandmother always use to wear and if I wanted them. She wore them every day. Of course I'm going to take them, they'd be the only sure memory I have of her. And now I'm crying. I do this every few years. I'm reminded of her by something and I cry but it's a good cry and I thank you. :)
You're welcome and thanks for sharing your story of your grandma.
I honestly don't want to get to the point of crying, though I did each of the 3 times we broke up in our relationship. I haven't cried yet over this person's loss though I felt quite awful.
I guess crying helps sometimes but it's those sad feelings I want to avoid-at least until I'm ready to face them. My life is fairly busy right now so I can't really stop for that either.
I feel fortunate that I have a good network of family and friends-so it's easier to cope with the loss of someone close to you.
IIN to keep someone's letters/emails after they have passed away?
