Today I helped a friend clean out her Mother's house, her Mother passed last year.

The house needs to be sold, my friend just couldn't bring herself to clean out the house.

I didn't have that problem with my Father's house, just jumped in and did it.

I think the longer you put it off the harder it gets.

Her Mother had a lot of stuff, we just got started.

1. Oh guy. Oh, that's hard.

You are an angel to help your friend that way. Total gem. I'm sure your presence made a huge difference. That's real friendship, which is pretty hard to find.

2. we moved into my moms house. dad took his stuf and moved, leaving most of the stuff....

it is hard to get rid of. husband was a big help. i would say all has to go, and he did it. i would sit and hold and think.

that was nice of you to help friend. i bet she appreciated it so much.

3. Prepare yourself

for some laughter and some tears as you shift through many memories together. You're a good friend.

4. Well, back from my friend's Mother's house, we had a early start.

I took the clothes away, going to Goodwill.

There are somethings a none family member needs to do.

This job will take a few months I guess, working on and off.

Yes, my friend did cry, some happy tears, some sad tears.

It is amazing the things a person keeps over the years, personal things.

We need to empty the place by the end of the year.

We were looking for the holiday things, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Somethings will go into storage for awhile, no rush.

I had help with my Father's house so I am more then happy to help out someone else.
