I've had to do it in stages over the past fourteen or so months and it simply doesn't get any easier. Some things, like our photos, I can't even open yet, but someday I'll be able to. One step, one breath, one day at a time. Thank you so much for visiting my blog and your sweet comment. Your family is beautiful. This post brought back memories as I used to make play dough for my boys when they were little. ♥Betty Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475038702140830260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760167183316444479.post-55062325334747959342010-01-22T12:12:56.137-05:002010-01-22T12:12:56.137-05:00My Mom is gone 5 years now and cleaning out her ho...My Mom is gone 5 years now and cleaning out her house was a very difficult time, so my prayers are with you.

I hope having your family all together what you dread might become a time of sharing memories and even laughs. Whatever you feel this weekend, it's all normal and there is no wrong. I'm hear if you ever need me.<br /><br />As always, I love hearing your precious memories of your Mother. I loved seeing the pictures of the boys with the playdoh.<br /><br />You're in my heart and prayers and I'm thinking of you.

It can't be an easy thing to pack up your mother's things. But I'm sure you'll have so many happy memories come flooding back. I remember when my grandmother past away, my mom had all the grandkids write down 3 items that they might like to have as a keepsake from Grandma's house. By writing down 3 items, I think everyone was able to have at least one of the things on their list to help them remember grandma.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14208941792266837802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760167183316444479.post-23745458233359794222010-01-20T23:06:51.143-05:002010-01-20T23:06:51.143-05:00I love to have my grands come over and spend time ...I love to have my grands come over and spend time with their Pop and Grana.

I hope you are able to enjoy the memories that her things bring to mind with happiness.<br />Your post about the play dough made me smile as I remembered making it for my kids.

Hope it will encourage you while you're there to know we're praying and thinking of you and your family. <br /><br />So glad you shared this recipe. I say this with seemingly every comment on Wednesdays with Wanda, but she is such a wonderful role model. I'm definitely tucking things like this away so that when my time comes to be a Grandma, I'll be prepared with lots of special things!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />TracyTracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02158977330746847962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-760167183316444479.post-67687145183975917422010-01-20T19:16:16.538-05:002010-01-20T19:16:16.538-05:00Thankyou Traci for your beautiful blog.
