Weeks later, I came home early and overheard him on the phone: “Just keep it put away and tell Janine not to mention it. Milly is still upset.”My heart sank. He had given my Nana’s set to his sister’s daughter without asking me. Later, he admitted he thought it was better for Janine to enjoy it now. He dismissed it as “just a tea set” and told me I was too attached.But it wasn’t just porcelain. It was legacy, memory, and respect.
