I had to pick between keeping my great-aunt's heavy oak dresser or my grandpa's old workbench from his garage in Cleveland.

I kept the workbench because it has his initials carved under the top and every scratch tells a story, but has anyone else felt bad about letting a big piece of furniture go?

My mom still brings up the cedar chest I donated five years ago. You just have to pick the thing that means more to you, even if it stings a little. I'm sure your great-aunt would get why you kept the workbench.

A buddy of mine had to choose between his dad's old record collection and a huge china cabinet. He kept the records because they could actually fit in his apartment. He said selling the cabinet felt awful, like he was selling a piece of the house itself. It's exactly what @ryan_kim63 said, you pick what means more even when it hurts.
