One of my sisters wanted a 1953 coronation mug saying it was for her, she was born 1965, I was born 1953, bit of a clue there don't you think. lol.

I have quite a few things that she gave me but only my Dad's pipe as my so called Mother and Sister kept all the other things. :-|

My Mother in Law was the same with me, even left her jewellery to me in her will or gave it to me while she was alive to make sure her own daughter didn't get it.

I was very close to my Dad too and to my MIL who treated me as her daughter from day one of meeting her.
