This will brighten or depress you for the day. What to do with all of the stuff? Neighbor across the street died, 3 kids all living in different states met at the house on friday dumpster delivered on sat, those 3 kids filled that dumpster to the brim, completely emptied the house, went back to the airport on sunday night, put house up for sale monday. All that stuff ment something to mom but nothing to the kids

Oh Joy !🫶🏼 This brightens my day!☀️

It confirms what my beautiful husband and I tell our comfortably numb aging family, colleagues, and people we come across in our daily lives; children will share their lives with you but they don't owe you their lives.

While you are healthy start working on getting rid of stuff. Death is hard enough for children or people in general to deal with. Plus, who wants to pay to haul your memorabilia to their home for sentimental reasons just to collect dust.

Children pretty much know what they want far as things from their parents and let them know ahead of time. My kids when we relocated showed us a thing or two via observation and listening. They don't know what we learned from them. 😁 But it was enough to open our eyes and minds to the truth that you can only live one life. Your's and the person you will be living with and the memories you make together are yours and yours alone. The things you accumulate in this short lifetime although meaningful to you are temporary and must be disposed of by you if possible and not others.

Holding onto things sucks! All it does is make You become a physical and emotional hoarder. It's time to say, Things thanks for all the wonderful memories.

Box 📦 it up, sell it, donate it, or give it away.

Set yourself free and Enjoy the rest of your life!! ☕️🍩🌅

Not depressing, just sounds like some lazy children. Could have at least donated much of it instead of clogging up the landfills. 🙁
