Selling my Grandmother on EBay
I have a decent job, J has a decent job but, the stroke has caught up with us. With insurance, we didn't expect the bills to be quite so high.
With house payments, two car payments, Ryan's braces, Katie's tuition, and Doctor bills, etc., etc., we're squeezing nickles here.
I can't take the collection calls, and dunning letters. I've made the decision to sell some of my Grandmother's stuff. It was a really tough decision but, I think she'd understand.
Her Jewelry is going on EBay today. She left me a diamond ring, and a pair of diamond earrings, some pearl and jade pieces. These are things she wanted me to pass down. I hope she'd understand.
I feel awful. My grandmother died shortly after my stroke. I don't remember her funeral, but I was released from the hospital to attend it.
It's kind of like I'm selling my Grandmother on Ebay. She would have said "Things are things, and you can always replace things" ... But, these are her things and it hurts to have to give them up.
I just don't see another option.
I won't sell the cameo that her Grandmother gave her, I'll keep it for my favorite Granddaughter someday. Yeah, I was the favorite of 7 girls.
And now I'm selling my grandmother on EBay.
I hope she'd understand.
