She told me all the things I needed to know and hear. A dying man needed to know he’d be remembered.
Dear Dad
Reading through your diaries – back during those nasty divorce years – I remember dealing with my own issues as a young teenager; never realizing how you suffered as well… especially missing mum.
Letting Go, Moving Forward…
What’s the hardest thing about downsizing? Parting with the things we keep for both practical and sentimental reasons. Let’s face it, some things are REALLY hard to part with!
