[QUOTE="Shari, post: 175215, member: 1848"] Never fear...she won't know when if there ever is a sale. I am not sure I could stand my parents' stuff stashed like a headboard notch in her pack rat pavilion. And don't get me wrong, I am not that possessive of my family. Obviously, difficult child 1 is not "blood", nor is easy child 2. There's probably 30 kids running around that called my dad "grandpa". His best friend was listed as a survivor in the obituary and sat with the family. He still attends almost all of the family functions - he'd have been there if dad was alive, he's welcomed even tho dad isn't. Several of the "surrogate" grandkids sat in the "family" section. easy child 1's best friend spent a lot of time with easy child at our house and my folks' house the last 2 years dad was alive. He was one of the three grandsons that drove the tractors at the funeral. Mom and dad beleived that blood does not create - or define - a family, and they lived that way. Much the way a house doesn't just make a home. We were also raised to not stick your nose into someone else's business without a reason to have it there. Partly why it is so hard for me to deal with mother in law. [/QUOTE]
