That's what we made as a result of selling my mother's belongings. The estate sale organizer made $900. So the contents of the home where my mother lived most of her life were worth $2608. How sad.
But I'm glad it's over. This is the natural order of things. Life goes on.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
Hugs.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad it's over for you. Remember the real things of value were already out of the house, and the stuff of highest value can't be sold. You'll have that always.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you...
when she was alive she enjoyed her things...that is all that really matters.
ReplyDeleteone more thing off the list. count it all good!
Everyone has said what I would have said - but I like boliyou's best: "the things of value were already out of the house and the stuff of highest value can't be sold" - wisdom, right there smack in your face.
ReplyDeleteBest part? it's OVER! Woo hoo! Celebrate this somehow - even if it's with an extra large coke! :)
And now you can breathe a bit easier.
Much love to you from me.
