This story is a reprint from 2003:

The Jar It's sad, but this is not all that uncommon. After your read the story post your ideas to the online bulletin board at: http://www.auctionbytes.com/forum/phpBB/viewforum.php?forum=16&31

Once a week I treat myself to a trip to the Goodwill store in my hometown after
work. Some weeks are better than others, you never know what you will find. One particular day, I came across a beautiful apothecary-type jar, ivory in color with gold-gilt leaves around it. I'm not a big fan of glassware, mostly because it is more of a hassle to store and pack when sold. I went past the jar, then went back to it. No, keep moving I told myself. Before I checked out, I returned to the aisle the jar was in. For some reason I decided to buy it. When I got home, I put the jar on my entertainment center where it has caught the attention of everyone who stops by. I had tried a few times to open
the jar, but it would not budge.

A girlfriend stopped by one night, and she tried to open the jar for me. Suddenly, she had a ghastlyook on her face. She shook the jar and said "I think you are sporting somebody's Grama on your entertainment center!" The jar is a cremation urn!! My family is really creeped out by it, but what bothers me is how it ended up at a thrift store! I feel a tie to this jar, just because I think nobody should be forgotten. It will have a place in my home for as long as I live!! (Much to the dismay of my husband & kids). What would
you do? Bonny P.
