My own mum was not a hoarder by any means and, after she died, it only took a few hours to bag and donate her personal things. You have your work cut out for you - but your sense of humor will see you through it Janet. <BR/><BR/>Blessings for Christmas.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147410299194282171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990440235705634705.post-20250944379486683992008-12-12T22:25:00.000-05:002008-12-12T22:25:00.000-05:00You have been in our tjoughts and prayers Janet......You have been in our tjoughts and prayers Janet...<BR/><BR/>This is a hard thing to do so take it slowly. We went through this 3 years ago. We lost Bill's Mom in August in the very day Bill had his retirement ceremony. Then we lost his dad just 4 months later just before Christmas. It was a chore going through it all and deciding what to keep or to give away. We gave away most of it and it is hard so do be easy on yourselves.<BR/><BR/>I liked Tutti Chic's comment that your FIL and MIL are together now...spending Christmas with one another. It is a nice thought...<BR/><BR/>I have been where you were, praying that a loved one would go. When I know my Dad had no hope of recovery I said that very prayer. I knew he would be devastated to know he was in a nursing home and I could see what it was doing to Mom...it is all so hard.<BR/><BR/>I am so sorry Janet and wish i could do more for you...<BR/><BR/>Know I care and send hugs and love.<BR/><BR/>The dishes are beautiful by the way!<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>SueSusie Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14878113034866113803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990440235705634705.post-32651445825871423462008-12-12T01:51:00.000-05:002008-12-12T01:51:00.000-05:00Looking on the bright side of life, there are lots...Looking on the bright side of life, there are lots of fans of the 'old lady sweatshirts' with lace collars no less who are very excited about your family sharing.Pearl Maplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18422871022765340647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990440235705634705.post-61441310584102242722008-12-12T00:14:00.000-05:002008-12-12T00:14:00.000-05:00I'm with Tootsie--my heart's with you, too.

I found, when cleaning out my mom's condo, that my sisters and I were able smile over wonderful memories as we handled each piece.

Hope all went well with the services & that even though you are cleaning out the house, you get to enjoy the Christmas season a bit. So sorry you all have had to deal with so much in the past few months. Isn't a nice thought to think that your wonderful MIL & FIL are together again?
