If it is paid for, not in the way, and not eating money in storage; then, why do anything now? It sounds like just looking at it brings great memories and that is golden right now. If you sell it, it may add to any resentment you have toward the situation (not toward your husband of course). I am just starting down the ALZ trail with my husband. Fortunately, got plenty of training on how to handle things when we took care of his mother for 5 years. For over 20 years we fished bass tournaments all over the southeast (fishing and camping out-of-state tournaments) and I look at the bass boat probable very much as you look at your little camper. At first I was a bit bitter but now I fully concentrate on the happy memories and love that little boat for those. And love my husband more too.

@tennbrown What a sweet and refreshing outlook. I can’t tell you how warm and fuzzy I feel after reading this.

@tennbrown Great attitude! Being bitter just makes you sad and stressed. I too felt bitter because he had a long term affair and I didn't know until right before his diagnosis. I got into counseling and I am very spiritual so worked through it and enjoy every good day. He feels terrible but I decided I could either forgive and enjoy what we have left or be bitter. I love him and enjoy each day.
