My last 2 days

tommykat · 06-02-2007, 09:24 PM

I spent the last 2 days at my Mom's house having a Estate sale, ( garage sale ). As I write this try to understand if you have not lost your parents or one of them... can you imagine seeing your whole life flash before you? You watch people taking things that you lived with your entire , saying I will give you a dime for this or that. I don't believe I have hurt so much seeing things go that you remembered from childhood. Seeing my Mothers wedding dress hanging there.....well, that was a killer. Imagine if you can, your worst nightmare.....well I just lived it. Sleep deprived from Thurday nite, went to bed at 12:00 and got up at 3:00 AM start putting stuff out by 4:00 AM. Sale to begin at 7:00, as my girlfiriend and I work our butts off putting and pulling tables out got it done about 6:45. Cool, right? Ahhh Chit.........10 to 7 it rained to beat all. About 3/4" of rain so fast....right grab the tables run the back in/out/in/out.....So today? Yep, again the same rain....Funny people had umbrellas looking under the tarps. Had to laugh, even tho inside I still was hurting. Where am I going with this?

LOVE YOUR MOM AND DAD please while you have them. They may drive you nuts to beat all,but one day this will happen to you. Thanks for letting me ramble.

Tommykat, Kathy

You wouldn't happen to have a cheese grater for sale?

Sounds rough. Hopefully you pulled in tons of dough to ease the pain. Be well.

TK, you never come on here anymore except with the doom and gloom. What's up with that?

Lots of doom and gloom lately. Hopefully things are getting better.

Then we will never hear from TK again. I used to really enjoy her posts. Especially after 9 PM.

Sorry for your loss TK.

Start bringing some positives into your life now that it's over. Take the dog for a walk on a scenic trail of Missouri that you never been to before. Don't own a dog? Get a puppy. Take classes and learn something new or refine a subject you already know. Start working out.

Or whatever the hell blows your hair back...just make sure there are positive things coming in or it's gonna be all negative.

Make sense?

**Rain Man** · 06-02-2007, 09:29 PM

You know what they say. Behind every garage sale is a story.

Hope you're doing better.

Sorry to hear about your parents TK.

wutamess · 06-02-2007, 10:05 PM

This is the 1st post of yours I've actually understood.
And it makes perfect sense and is REALLY underestimated advice.

Sorry for your loss.
Time heals all.

Thank you, and to Luv. Phob and a few understand that I am not as dumb

as I play around here.

All the best TK. I have not had to experience it, but I was there with my mother as she was going through it with her Mom first, and more recently with her dad. She is single, I'm her only child and I was out here in Arizona.

For my mom, there was a lot of that "now I'm all alone" feeling. That was very hard. She's since moved out here to Tucson and that's helped. Life always goes on, and that helps too.

I wish you all the very best in taking care of yourself and getting to the point where you are able to move on.

Thank you, that was so kind. As you lose a spouse or in my case parents you realize we are not that inmortal? person. Then we realize that we are next to go. Anyway, doing OK, thanks again for your kind reply.

Kathy,

Deepest sympathy for your pain. Pick a few key items that hold cherished memories and keep them. No amount of money will replace those memories.

Agree with Jim, the best way to remember the good and let time heal the bad.

TK, it sucks knowing the setimental value weighs more that the actual dollar value to a garage sale crowd, which is what you get in an estate sale.

Hang tough, just remember the good times .
