We cleared some more "material possessions" today
This is what I'm calling Gracie's items. It makes them easier to part with; knowing that they will one day just turn to rust anyways. The clearing of Gracie's room has been a long process. We didn't start anything until last September; the "one-year mark". We'll do a little, then stop. We haven't touched her room for a couple weeks, but we were back in there today. After Aaron's basketball game this morning, and lunch, he went to his grandma's house for the afternoon. We worked on Gracie's closet. The shelving in there was for a little princess. There are still dresses in there that are too "her" to give away, but we needed to work on the closet. A few years ago, we had a friend come in and stencil Gracie's name on the wall with black paint above where her bed was, and since her bed is down, the name looks lonely. When we paint the room, that will be the hardest thing to watch disappear. We have thought about leaving it. We're still discussing that one. Our girl had a ton of stuffed animals. We just now got into the fourth container of animals and toys this afternoon. We're going to keep some of them. Others, we'll take over to the children's hospital again. Material possessions, material possessions, repeat, repeat, repeat, material possessions..keep saying that, J.B., keep saying that..
