In four days, Mom has been in heaven for 5 months. I have had Mom's "good" clothes in my upstairs closet for 12 years. ....church clothes, special outing clothes.....clothes that I didn't want the "facility" to wash. For the last 4 years of her life, Mom could not leave the rest homes that she lived in. She had no need for her "good" clothes, yet I couldn't give them away. Even though the clothes were all too big for her, since she lost so much weight, I still couldn't get rid of them. My husband needed to check a chimney in that upstairs closet the other day, but he couldn't because of Mom's clothes. I went up there this morning and put all of her clothes on the bed so that he can check the chimney. There are a lot of clothes....winter and summer. I am going to bag them and take them to the Salvation Army. There are some nice pieces of clothing, but they are all too big for me to wear.
It is time.......to part with Mom's clothes. It is sad, but something that needs to be done.
