It would be hard if you were sentimental
I'm a very sentimental person! I save everything! I have about 7 shoe boxes and two other containers full of memories and little things I have saved. I remember a few years back when I clipped out a newspaper article about the last American that had died who had been aboard the Titanic and I put it in my memory box! Well tonight I saw on the news about "A Titanic survivor who is selling mementos". This article caught my attention right away and took me back to when I cut out the newspaper article. This 96 elderly lady, who lives in England, is selling her suitcase and some other mementos! The most valuable is the suitcase according to auctioneer because, "They would've carried their little world in it". Many of you I'm sure ask, "What's the reason for her selling these precious treasures?" The reason is so sad to me because she has to sell them to pay nursing home bills. If you were her would it be hard for you to sell something so precious and valuable

Well, I'm not really a sentimental person, but I think I would be really upset to sell the things just to pay a bill. I wish things weren't that way for the person, but I guess that's just life. I enjoyed reading this blog, good job.
As humans we get attached to things in our world. It is hard to let go of sentimental things, but I guess we have to realize that we can't take anything but people to Heaven with us. As sad as it may be, giving up our things is inevitable.
