I've learned alot over the past few months. Mom and Dad are now safely and happily living in an Assisted Living Facility. They have stuff - tons of stuff. They've been married for over 56 years. We'll be selling their condo soon. We have to get it ready to sell and we have to do something with all the things in their home. A dresser Mom got as a High School Graduation gift. China that was originally owned by my mother's mother. Pictures, coats, quilts, books, furniture, kitchen items... It's almost overwhelming. Have I mentioned that I'm sentimental? Almost everything means something to me. There are many many items that I gave them as a gift. I want my daughter to have some of their things - not because they're expensive or unique, but because they were theirs. I want her to have a piece of them to keep with her all her life. They love my daughter, deeply and completely. There's tons of stuff in this world, but there's not enough of that type of love.
