Dear Mom,

Ugh.

We are selling the house. 

I thought the other stuff was hard... 

This is not only a challenge to negotiate without any real guidance but it is emotionally overwhelming at times... Having grown up there, called it home, found comfort in just being there... I am supposed to be making these decisions in the best interest of B, B & myself... I am hoping to not let any one of us down. 

And the thought of all of the packing up and sorting through sounds dreadful. I cannot even bring myself to discard the clothes and other items that we kept here, in our home, for your visits. I suppose we can pack it all away in storage until any one of us can bear it... but I haven't any ability to imagine when that might be.

I am glad that you never had to go through this.

Love,

Nicole
