About grief, marriage, love and unexpected loss.

But you're getting through it and finding all sorts of neat, interesting, quirky and things of great emotional and maybe monetary value...so VERY COOL. You might have someone come value the books and anything else, cuz then you'd save those really rare things for Lily rather than nilly willy just giving them up. You've heard about people buying very valuable things (unwanted and unknowingly sold by the sellers for pennies) at garage sales, etc. George sure did a whole lotta stuff all his life...what a very interesting soul but then, you already know that. take care and hugs to you and Lily, joy YES!

Jimmy and I are both thrifters, creators and collectors. Records, shoes, hats, books, musical instruments, and art. We make it, we buy it, we pluck it from trash heaps. When my grandmother, his mother and aunt died, we inherited more boxes and furniture and art. Having helped disperse other people's collections, I know I need to clear out now, while I'm still able. I appreciate the idea of labeling it, that is thoughtful, if I should suddenly pass and leave the task of distributing to others. Hang in there Lisa! And do save some things FOR Lily FROM her. Receiving it much later will possibly prevent it's being lost (I lost stuff of my Dad's when I was young and careless). I have been sorting through our stuff for years.
