Memories

Well...this has been a year for going through memories. Most of you know that my dad passed away a few months ago. Now, all the projects you have been seeing me work on is because my mom is moving in. So, we need to make room! Found a few boxes under my son's bed and decided to go through them. I have no idea why I kept so much, but I did keep a handful of items.
Oh Danette, it's difficult to get rid of those wonderful keepsakes of the children's years growing up. Where is your mom moving from?

Danette, I didn't know of the loss of your father...my condolences. Change is never easy...and how can you let go of the little words, "to MoM"? If I were to do this task...I'd take a photo of every item like that...and yes, someday I might just make a photo collage! You never know!

@anazad511 Ana, she lives about 25 minutes away. It will be good to have her closer. She gets around well. I sorted through what I had kept and chose the best items. I still have a lot more.

@Weezilou Thanks so much, Louise. The items here, I chose to keep. But the box had been full! I think I got the best ones. I have been taking photos of his many trophies. Just found another box.

@chard I am trying to avoid too much "stuff" after I pass! Really trying to mentally downsize. I've been a pack rat.

@joemuli I kept these items. Someday, I will get everything put in a scrapbook! I have a folder about 6" thick, if not more!

I have a box or two in the loft that my sons may find evoctive, or maybe just embarrassing!

Sweet shot, Danette. It looks like a lot of beautiful memories there. I have a big box of items that my girls made when they were kids. I keep wanting to organize them but never seem to get to doing it.

Well Danette I am the same way and later when you go through items like this it can bring back so many wonderful memories

As we older we get the more memories we have,I try to remember the good ones and forget the bad ones.
