An important memory

Today I am feeling upset,and quite sad really. I have had my Mothers beautiful Engagement ring valued for Insurance purposes, the ring will be eighty years old next year, my Mum had it on her finger all her life until the day she died ten years ago.
I was excited when the jewelers told me the valuation, and told my partner, who replied "sell it", I was so amazed at this reply, I was speachless, but then replied " I will NEVER sell it". I cant believe anybody would say this, as the sentimental value for me, is enormous, and of course I want it to be kept in the family. Sorry to moan, but I just feel deflated. Any comments?

My dad always used say that our belongings only have a monetary value when we sell them, in the meantime they are items that we cherish and hold close to our heart. Your darling mum's rings therefore would be worth nothing as they aren't going anywhere. Hold them close to your heart
