This tugged at my heart as I read it, thinking about the families of so many hospice patients who I've met that have shared stories of the monumental task of relocating their parents to an assisted living community or nursing home, and then figuring out what to do with a now-vacant house and a lifetime of memories. For some of us, the emotional attachments to objects run deep, and it takes courage to let go. The gift is then you can move through the world feeling just a little lighter.
Wow Lyn, this evoked so many feelings. Grief in letting go, yes, but also the joy of freedom from the heavy load. Finding that photograph of the empty table, what a synchronicity. I love your writing, and photographs, as always. I appreciate the honesty of your writing and your images, and how generously you share your process.
I read this over breakfast and found such beauty in your words as you described the longing and letting go of things and places and the ache that we feel in the memories and the release when we don't hold on - so eloquent. Thank you for sharing your word through pictures and words and best of luck in this next chapter.
Lyn,

Longing and letting go. It's a thing. So real, yet we have such a hard time honoring the process. So glad you're along for the ride.
Wow Lyn, so well expressed! I’m with you but also look forward to you moving in and the positive placing of your saved favorites
Thank you, dear Randy.
