Guilt. Anger. Co-dependency. High blood pressure. Oh...and then there's the bible that my great grandparents brought back with them from ireland in the 1800's. The recipe for home made gnocchi (from my father's mother). The ability to make pie crust (my mother's father was a pastry maker for the dock workers in SF). The recipes that both of my families have handed down.
The only person we can hand these down to is my niece. I don't think I will ever be married or have children.
