But at a certain point, the plastic bags full of plastic bags, boxes full of boxes, and towels in use being in tatters while new ones are in the drawer hit home. I did change my ways a bit after. The only real surprise for us was finding a frilly skimpy red lace lingerie set in the cedar chest. *OUR* Mom!?!? In *that*?! <br /><br />I hope your mom is out of the hospital and into new place soon. It's tough adjustment for all concerned.JustGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08948391538309176039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458995441204559691.post-57026474326348403872022-11-20T08:19:53.124-07:002022-11-20T08:19:53.124-07:00One of the hardest jobs is cleaning out a parents ...One of the hardest jobs is cleaning out a parents home but it can be rewarding too, if only for the glimpses of their lives that you might not have been aware of.

She would buy a booklet of stamps, use one, put the package in a drawer and then next time she needed to mail a letter, would forget where the package was and go out and buy a new one.Debra She Who Seekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01845703092794695023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458995441204559691.post-11976326563856729102022-11-15T07:13:31.930-07:002022-11-15T07:13:31.930-07:00Good luck.... cleaning/sorting a parents stuff is ...Good luck.... cleaning/sorting a parents stuff is a tough job all-in-all.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05450082315014407506noreply@blogger.com
