Holding on to the past

Do you find it hard getting rid of old items? Children’s baby clothes, a particular top or memento that reminds you of a special time? I do, to a fault. Why the heck am I holding on to a particular sweater from 2013 or an empty perfume bottle?

Yes, I have family objects that go back to my grandmother, including photo albums. Some things that are more than 100 years old. My grandmother passed before I was born. I have two daughters but no grandchildren. I have no idea why I've held on to these things or that anyone will care about the history of these things.

You sound just like me. It’s enough that we care about them 😊@notyouraveragedummy
