Dear 3G ~~ You are a wise lady and we all benefit from your words.
In answer to the question you pose -- in the grand scheme of the universe, stuff is not important at all.
This past weekend, as I was going through much of my parents' stuff, I stopped for a moment and reflected on how much I was holding out for distribution between my brothers and myself. Very very little. Perhaps 1% of the total, not including furniture.
The rest means nothing. Perhaps the greeting cards did for a brief time but very little of anything else.

ThreeG...I had no idea. I am so sorry. I hope that it is treatable and that you are able to appreciate the lesson learned for years to come. You will be in my heart and my prayers.

I'm sorry, 3G, for what you're going through. You're right---in the Great Scheme of Things, stuff matters very little. What we have will matter even less to those who survive us. Best to start paring it down to the essentials now. Thank you for the reminders.

I'm sorry for your diagnosis. I'm saying healing prayers for you. Thank you for your insights. I have so many memories yet I also have a ton of family cllutter. Under my bed, I have a folder with everey single paper my daughter brought home from school in first grade. She is now 21. I have her. Why do I need all those school papers?
