Empty house Mood
Saturday, September 12, 2009 | A General Update story

Hi friends,

I have sold most of the stuff in the house including all the decor which Claire loved so much.  It was hard to part with it, but I can't keep it all.  The house is just a shell with some furniture scattered around - most of it my kids will take.  My feelings are mixed and I guess I won't know how this all affects me until I get moved and into the new place.  Regardless, there's no turning back now, just looking ahead and not knowing what's around the next corner.  Oh well, one day at a time right?  Hope you're all doing better.

Bill

    One day at a time is all we have and what's around the corner can be exciting or scarey. Breathe deep and close your eyes. Try to envision what you want around the corner. It helps me. Sharon

    You have undertaken a great deal and can congratulate yourself on seeing things through. It is only natural to have mixed feelings about your move but your darling Claire is with you in spirit and I know she is smiling down on you with love. Take care and good luck. Margaret

    Just wanted to jump in, Bill. I'm sure it was hard and heart wrenching to sell/give away the things that Claire had chosen. I've gotten rid of a lot of stuff, too. In the beginning I couldn't thrown anything out. Even Joe's (ex truck driver) old CB's that didn't work anymore! But it came to me that the memories associated with these things are in my heart - not so much the actual physical things. One day at a time, my brave friend - Hugs, Marsha
