If you haven't used it , much less seen it in a year ... 6 . It really pained me to part with yard tools even though I haven't used them once since we moved here . ( they were the nice fiberglass handled ones ) 5 . God has really blessed us during those 9 years . 
Question: What's a possible reason the writer was pained to part with the yard tools ?
Because they have a sentimental value to the writer .
