Yesterday was an emotional day. My in-laws' place is finally organized so that the clean up crew can come in and toss what needs to be tossed and bring to our place what is being kept. I found so-o-o-o many wonderful family photos and other mementos during the clean up process. It was hard to part with some of them, but there is only so much room at our place. Here are some of the special treasures I discovered on the last day:
My mother-in-law's parents (they died before I joined the family)
My hubby's newborn photo
Local magazines from the 1980s
My father-in-law's navy uniforms
I'm grateful for the blessing of being part of a wonderful family.
Sentimental treasures are hard to part with; glad you got to keep some. It is definitely an emotional process.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and for visiting my blog.
Wow, those magazines are awesome...any poetry or stories in there! How fun finding family treasures.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments, ladies. Not sure what's in those magazines yet, Serena. Once things calm down I am going to browse through them.
