It's like every time I gave away their things, I felt like I lost another connection to them. But I came to realize that no matter what happened to their things, I would never lose THEM. Their love and memories still fill my heart and that can never be taken away. My parents passed away 20 years ago, and I still miss them every day. Most times I can think of them and be happy, but I still feel grief sometimes.<br /><br />I can tell how much you love your parents. How proud they must have been of you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24228744.post-12963004010760449432013-10-11T19:35:13.954-05:002013-10-11T19:35:13.954-05:00I so sorry Janet.

When we let go of my mother's things, I did feel a bit of comfort that they were going to people who were going to love and enjoy them.Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06962309468837539117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24228744.post-65180322366170540692013-10-10T19:38:40.330-05:002013-10-10T19:38:40.330-05:00Thank you, Sarah and Heather, for your sweet comme...Thank you, Sarah and Heather, for your sweet comments.

Things are just things, but those memories and what they meant to you are very real. I hope that many happy memories continue to push their way to the surface of your mind and help you smile more & more as the days move forward. Grief can be very powerful and lonely. Know that you are thought of and loved even far away in this difficult time. Sarah Cogginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12691096945912900890noreply@blogger.com
