Thought provoking post of yours.<br /><br />Like most for most of your commentator I'd save photos. And all those little notes, stories and poems my son has written and left me over the last 21 years. Just the thought of losing them makes me well up. <br /><br />A bit like your commentator Sol, I am so paranoid about losing my photos that, when going on holiday, I always give a box with all the negatives to a friend of mine. Just in case (the house burns down). It's totally irrational: After all: The house could catch fire during the five minutes it takes me to go to the corner shop.<br /><br />I once tried to help an older lady (she was in her eighties) to "declutter". It was hopeless. The only thing I managed to convince her to get rid of was a dead mouse in the kitchen. And, to be honest, I thought what the hell does it matter. She is surrounded by the memories of her life and she is clinging to her life with the shreds of her finger tips. Not that her son, a bishop, yes a bishop, the bastard, saw it that way. Am certain he just ordered a skip when his mother died. Not, of course, before removing saleable items.<br /><br />UAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-9769537191762367882013-07-12T03:09:38.554+00:002013-07-12T03:09:38.554+00:00Looking around at my own "stuff", I real...Looking around at my own "stuff", I realize that only we care about it all.

Still, when they had to evacuate for a hurricane, I was shocked and pleased to hear my mother say that, whatever might happen "It's just stuff."<br /><br />Yup, grab Chris and anything with paws and get out.
