My mother saved and left me every card and letter I ever wrote her. Huge box full. Never been through all of it. 2 or 3 letters and I'm quivering Jello so I don't open the box anymore

Giving my son my first Rolex air king when he graduates from College. I also will leave him an extensive gun collection when I die.

Guitars. 2 nice watches (so far).

The bitch of it is, you’re dead. Your kids get to decide what is sentimental. He may sell my watches and guitars and keep something I think is completely random?

Whatever you leave, try and make sure it's a small thing. No young person wants to be burdened with carrying around, say, a large painting from move to move. Younger generations tend to be more mobile and even living abroad more frequently.

My shadow box with my ribbons and medals. My guns, my dads guns, other military stuff of mine.

I have my Grandfathers guns that were his grandfathers, that get passed down to the oldest grandson. That will continue and get passed down to whichever kid has the oldest male.

My daughter will have stuff from my wife and her mother.

I just spit out my Raw Gluten Free Water.


I have a Martin guitar and a few guns that I'll pass down, and if the jeep makes it that long, one of the kids will get that too.

He bought it new. I have the original sales receipt, case (case is kinda rough and I have it stored in a better case), and original replacement strings. There isn't a single scratch on it even though he did play it from time to time.
Google pic but it is this one:


ETA: not a les paul, its an ES335 TDC

Photographs.
Books.

House of course but no sentiment, just money, ditto life insurance.

I have a weapon. She wouldn't want it. Nephew would. He hunts.

I have one daughter (7 yrs old).

She will be getting a bunch of guns. Some are collector items, most are just good guns.

She will get whatever money I have left (hopefully a nice chunk).

She will get my paid off house and my camp.

She will have tons of memories because I make it a point to spend more time doing things than buying stuff.

My dad has given me a lot of useful family heirlooms. Antique furniture, some art, guns, other items which have been in the family for generations.

He also had a ton of things which he was saving to give to me.

Well

6 feet of water in his house during Harvey changed that. We piled it up on the curb in 24 hours - get wrenching.
