| Topic | One year ago today, my dad died |
| azuarc 12/11/17 2:54:09 PM #1: | That's a little depressing, and thank you to my sister for pointing it out. Not that I was unaware, but I hadn't actually noticed it today and I think I'd have been happier for it if I hadn't. I inherited his house, and I'm still going over a couple times each week to try to further empty it out en route to either moving my stuff in or selling it. I don't know which yet, but there were too many things that I couldn't ask a 1-800-GOT-JUNK type to come in and clean out. Expensive ham radios, model railroad collection, family memorabilia and heirlooms, etc. I honestly don't know if I feel any closer to being cleaned out than I did nine months ago when my stepmother found a new place. It also means my immediate family is down to one living sister. (And her kids, I guess.) I knew, intellectually, that I was going to see my parents and grandparents drop some day. Grandparents were incredibly long-lived, but I didn't expect my parents to have the same health, and they were already forty when I was born. OTOH, knowing that I don't really have people to call on during a crisis is just a little sad and lonely. And I wouldn't have expected my sister to have died at 34. At least I have a decent inheritance? --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
