Then it changed to household items, which I thought was odd but I didn't question it too much. It wasn't too long after that his health started to decline rapidly, and he passed away.
I later found out that he had been doing this to everyone he knew, he must have known his time was coming and there were certain things he wanted certain people to have, which bothered me a bit because I declined several things he offered. If I had known at the time what he was doing I would've just taken them. It's kind of weird in retrospect, because I have no idea why he specifically wanted me to have some of the stuff he gave me.

so you would have taken them just because of the situaiton?
I don't want it to be morbid or anything like that. My daughter knows she gets my jewelry but other things, I just want to share or remember special times. I do not want crying or pity tho...I want to be positive and leave lasting memories
