It only takes 4 months ...

... to clean up a life. We've been working on and off in my mum's appartment, packing, dividing, giving away to Kringwinkels, driving to the recycling parks ... last weekend we really finalized, last stuff, cellar, cleaning up, seeing the landlord, handing over the keys ... a very difficult moment and a very saddening one because we were closing that door for the last time . It only takes 4 months to pack up and disperse with someone's life. Even if you keep things, honour them ... there's an awful lot you have to throw out because you have no room/use/ feeling for it. What would she have said, that Wednesday November 26th, if we would have told her that on March 28th her appartment would have been completely emptied out?
