Losing a loved one is never easy, especially when it's sudden and unexpected. A father of three, twice divorced, passed away two months ago, leaving his family to sort through his belongings and memories. His girlfriend of three years, who he had proposed to but never married, now wants two specific items from his estate to remember him by: a wristwatch and a silver bowl. The catch? These are the most valuable items in his entire apartment, worth around $10,000 each. With the family in need of money, they're faced with a difficult decision. Should they give her the items or keep them to sell and support themselves? 💔🤔

A Family's Heartbreaking Choice: Keep or Give? 💔🕰️
As this family grieves their father's sudden passing, they're faced with a tough decision.
