I had a very rude awakening when we downsized. We had an attic full of ours and their lives (the children), I asked my son to come and help me clean out the attic and take whatever he wanted for his family. I had every report card from all their school years, medical reports, even had their baby teeth, and I also had their baby clothes. My son went up into the attic - it was 103 degrees up there - I stood down in the hallway and suddenly boxes and bags of "stuff" came flying out of the attic and it all ended up in the dumpster.

The antiques and furniture they did want, so I still get to visit those when I go back North.

The boxes of photos I took to the oldest son and left them there - he actually put a lot of the photos onto computer discs and I have no idea what happened to the rest.
