Oh, Mary. I know exactly what you are going through, with cleaning out your parents' house! It's SO hard. Every little trinket seems to bring up a memory, and, suddenly your house gets a lot fuller because it's so hard to part with this or that. I'll be praying for you and your siblings through this difficult time.<br />Kathy (Reflections)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469509176316025961.post-74606817520063042232017-02-22T09:24:15.406-05:002017-02-22T09:24:15.406-05:00I really hope that winter is on the way out!

My parents have been gone (Dad in 2002 and Mom in 2010). They both lived into their 90's, Mom was almost 98 when she passed and we never stop missing them but the pain does lessen through time.
