What's normal, you might ask - but life is getting back to some sort of normality. We are now drawing close to settlement of our house sale and this weekend I cleared a heap of rubbish into our fourth skip over the last three months..
This was the garage cleanup. 33 years in one house - yes, you do collect a lot of garbage in that time.
One of the lovely things about moving after so long in one "HOME" is that you find so many lovely memories from the past. Our boys, Andrew and Mitchell are now 30 and 27 respectively. As I was cleaning out their bedrooms, I found their school graduation bears.
This house - (more of a home) has been a place where our two boys and my daughter from my 1st marriage call home and they still do. Today I cleaned, vacuumed and packed the contents of both boy's rooms.
Memories that I felt could not go in the skip. How can you throw away a lifetime of memories.

You can't, Leon. You take them with you as objects or memories.
ReplyDeleteWishing you, Sue and the family a very happy last Christmas and new year.
Thank you Gaynor and the same to you. We have our two boys OS this Xmas. Andrew in Berlin and Mitch in Sri Lanka with their lovely ladies. Its the way of life that our children move on and form their own futures.
