Something I Am Almost Sure You Don't Have..
Ok..let me get the depressing one over with cuz I am not a depressing, sad person but just to share this with you guys..This is the one thing I am pretty sure none of you have and I hope you don't EVER have. This is the purse my mom was using when she died. Everything is still in it just like it was when she last touched it. I have had it since about 2 weeks after she died (about 10 years now) and as you can see it has lots of dust on it b/c I keep it put away. Everytime I see it I want to cry.

It's hard to let go of things like that. If you keep it exactly as it was, it feels like you still have her sort of. Thanks for sharing it with us - I'm sure it was hard. I'm sorry that it makes you sad.

It must have been hard for you to share that....thanks. It is always hard to loose a parent, even when you think you are prepared.

Wow, thank you for sharing that heartfelt insight.
My mom is still around (THANK GOD!!!) but I can see myself doing the exact same thing.-

Oh, Pissy! ((hugs)) <-- if that sort of thing is allowed.
I'm touched that you shared your mom's purse with us. That's really sweet.
In a partially unrelated story: Several months before my Grandpa died, we threw him a huge bd party (we knew he was terminal) and had a lifetime's worth of friends, a clown, all kinds of good times. We videotaped it for "the good memories". I have NEVER, not once, watched that tape. I tried once, but didn't even make it 5 seconds into it. It's so fucking SAD to lose the people we love.
And like I said, kinda unrelated because one EXPECTS their grandparents to die - I can't imagine losing a parent at a young age... much as I gripe about mine sometimes.-

Stephanie, thank you for sharing this side of you. It is sad but thats life sometimes. It sucks.
We still have grandmas last pack of smokes sitting on her urn/box of ashes. Shes been gone 13 years now. I thought about lighting one up just for fun. I can only imagine what a 13 year old Alpine cigarette might taste like. but its comforting somehow to keep their earthly possessions. My mom has her mothers cedar chest and its still hard for her to go thru it even tho its been over 30 years now.
Id do the same thing with my moms purse after me and Kris fist fight over it. Unless she pulls the gun out of it and shoots me with it first.-
