have most of my grandmother's stuff cleared out of drawers and closets. There are many pairs of shoes to give away to charity many outfits to give away the charity. She left behind about 20-25 photo albums and 10 -11 shoe boxes of photos and negatives. There are books, postcards, love letters, etc from the forties. Going through her stuff has randomly set off crying, sometimes for obvious reasons, sometimes for no reason at all. I have some nice ideas about redecoration and decorations that will make the house happier and I feel sad that I didn't do it while she was alive, but I have to remind myself that she had a fit every time I wanted to do anything to the house.
Now that the bulk of the work is done I can take my own life out of holding pattern. I have some responsibilities I've been neglecting of my own and I have some fun that Ive been wanting to have.
