 Burrowing in other peoples belongings (an invader in a foreign land) Clammoring for delicate china (the set Aunt Mary served Thanksgiving on) Tightly grasping feedsack quilt tops (the ones Grandma never quite finished) Boxing up the Waterford crystal (that Cousin Grace collected for years) Leafing through antique poetry books (that lulled a thousand children to sleep) Pieces of them go away one box at a time. |

It almost hurts in its delicate beauty and sensitivity. Moments that hold profound emotion. You conveyed this very well. I need to cope with this too, we can't store everything, if we want to breathe ... Love, Margherita |

Tina, You summed this up so well. It is a heartbreaking task that I have also had to endure. The fact that it has to be done & putting it off only adds to the pain good job John |

I understand this so well. It is so hard to get rid of the past. It can be so comforting. Ida |
