Every time I visited my Dad, he led me down there and had me deal with it, since he didn't know what things were or what should be done. It was painful, but also a glimpse into something that made her very happy. Thanks for sharing this bit of your experience.<br /><br /Gayle Robbhttp://www.robbit.wsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654083932128429502.post-20697819336107859722013-04-28T02:46:13.049-05:002013-04-28T02:46:13.049-05:00I am touched at your sharing this memory with us, ...I am touched at your sharing this memory with us, and how you have created more memories for your family too.<br />Helen -- Firenze CardsFirenzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17943873419404418378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654083932128429502.post-73655126697083082422013-04-24T01:48:25.732-05:002013-04-24T01:48:25.732-05:00Oh Tricia, this really touched me in more ways tha...Oh Tricia, this really touched me in more ways than one. I am happy that I was able to go through most of my mom's belongings and help her purge or donate them while she was still alive. It will make it much easier to deal with the few things that are left behind because I know that she was able to chose who to gift with her treasures. As for me and my room full of "stuff"...sigh.

I too had to sort through my Mom's treasures when she passed, so I know how you feel. I remember a quote that was shared and it's so true "The life given us by nature is short, but the memory of a well spent life is eternal".<br /><br />Surely your Mom is eternal.jandbspiegelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13384132023667970281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654083932128429502.post-14088271333554877282013-04-23T18:17:32.458-05:002013-04-23T18:17:32.458-05:00Well spoken Tricia, My husband and I talk of this ...Well spoken Tricia, My husband and I talk of this often, I will scrap until I die, to get every memory down on paper for those left behind!<br />My thoughts are with you today.<br /><br />Vanessa in Fl.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06909110562822800617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5654083932128429502.post-39804947537717087152013-04-23T18:01:59.509-05:002013-04-23T18:01:59.509-05:00I'm sitting here at work with tears in my eyes...I'm sitting here at work with tears in my eyes and missing my Mom, that feeling never goes away, not even after over 50 years.
