[QUOTE="Steely, post: 456444, member: 3301"] She left sleep deprived yesterday - but she made it without a wreck - thank god. Yes, the house is turning out to be quite an interesting event in my life. Like I said, the house was this surreal deal and is huge. I would have never leased it except that the whole time we were packing up my Mom's stuff in Dallas, she kept giving me more and more "stuff". I joked with her I would need a mansion to ever be able to fit all of her heirlooms into a house of my own. Well it is not a mansion but oddly it has accommodated not only ALL of the stuff my Mom gave me but my Aunt and Uncle's garage of furniture that they had no where to put. It is kinda cool. I feel like I am in an elaborately woven nest of my family's personal possessions. It is good. And Matt got all of his Pop's electronics, which were numerous. He was very very touched yesterday when he opened each box to see "what Pop had given him". Not in any sort of greedy way, but more of in a thankful connecting way. Possessions of our loved ones can be very meaningful...........too meaningful sometimes. There are certain things I cannot place on shelves or out in the open - too raw - too painful...........others bring comfort. [/QUOTE]
