Inheritance

My late grandparents were the emotional center of our extended family. They are long gone, leaving behind 100 acres of land and their farmhouse. Then the surviving four children had to decide what to do with all their belongings. First, they had to divide up the many trophies my grandfather won as a champion racehorse trainer. There were countless silver platters, cutlery, crystal glasses, framed pictures of winning horses crossing the finish line, Jockey silks, and the more typical engraved sporting trophies.
