Throughout our lives we do hundreds, maybe thousands of things we don't want to do. It's time to "settle the estate", which means we are going to go through my father's things and decide what to do with everything. Along with all of these things will be memories of a wonderful man.
I have always had an attachment, not to things, but the stories they have. I didn't realize it was so much a part of me until last summer. I went to my daughter's house and saw an old wooden barrel that she had gotten out of storage to use on the front porch. She told John that I would not only recognize it but would know a story about it.
It's going to be very emotional.
