That they managed to be generous and gracious with handing away their life's treasures is something I'm only starting to fully realize now. We have his Norwegian grandparents' coffee tables. We were just glad to get coffee tables. In no way did I realize the agony behind their decision to offer up their stuff, as they downsized and moved from senior home to assisted living to memory care. I was just glad to get coffee tables.<br /><br />Now, though. I'm growing up enough to get inside their experience.

Your writing is making a difference.Jocelynhttp://omightycrisis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4280511778336787717.post-76394035774453025392012-01-09T18:31:06.307-05:002012-01-09T18:31:06.307-05:00This makes my heart bleed with sadness.This makes my heart bleed with sadness.Tracie Boellnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05309401338059189978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4280511778336787717.post-26304710442730159332012-01-09T16:33:51.212-05:002012-01-09T16:33:51.212-05:00The sadness and confusion.
