I have a confession to make. I have a box of waffles in my freezer.
I'm sure plenty of people have frozen waffles in their freezer, so why the need to confess? They're over two years old. Towards the end, that was all I could get Mom to eat. I don't eat them, and they're taking up space in the freezer that I could use for something else. The chickens would probably like to eat them, freezer burn and all.
Yet, as I rearrange the freezer to make room for the day old bread that was on special, the box always stays, even as I am cursing and shoving and smooshing the day old bread to make it fit. I'm not ready yet. I don't know when I will be.
I can promise you this though. If you ever come for breakfast, I won't be serving frozen waffles. The French Toast might be slightly smooshed day old bread.

I kept a small can of too old to use crisco from my grandmother for about 8 years. It wasn't hurting anything and I knew she had touched it.
I don't see why these would be different than keeping a hairbrush, a bottle of perfume, etc. A dear friend of the family still has her grandfathers and grandmothers chore boots sitting along side her families in the mud room.
I have my granny's face cream, just for the smell. It's nothing special, but I can't bear the thought of not having it around. Take your time. As sophanne said, it's not hurting anything. Hugs to you...
