. My dad passed this week, my mom this time last year. So my sister and I are readying their house for sale. The past two days, we took a truckload of large bags (about 16 30-gallon size) to the dump, and an equal number of bags of clothes and stuff to Goodwill. Long way to go, but we hope to be done in about 6 weeks.
Seeing this coming has spurred both of us into cleaning our own spaces. (Less vigorously, because we've spent so much time helping Mom & Dad.) But when we tend to think, "Well, it might be useful someday..." we stop ourselves and either donate it or toss it. .
