I know how you feel. After my dad passed away in 1990, my mom gave me his service revolver, a 4" 586. He took such good care of it, it looked almost brand new.
A few years ago my brother came out to vist. After a day at the range, we were at home cleaning guns and he commented I should give him one of my 1911's. I told him he may be my brother, but I don't like him that much. But I offered him our dad's gun as a loaner (he mistook it as a "keeper").
I realized later that I had messed up, I really missed that gun. So a couple of months ago, I traded him one of my 1911's for "my" 586.
I took it to the range a couple of weeks ago and "made up for lost time". It's a sweet shooting pistol...
So I understand how you feel. It's one of a couple of guns I'll have till I pass on.
