the_siobhanFuneral has been funeraled.
I am inching my way through the to-do list. I have a book full of colour-coded tags withe file numbers for companies that open files, date & time noted for companies that promise to send me things in the mail, envelopes full of receipts for bills that are paid. It makes it a lot easier that it's not my first time doing this. It makes it a lot easier that I was helping him pay his bills for the last four years.
I have seven large boxes stacked on my couch full of clothes, bedding, and shoes. I found a shelter that will take it all and distribute things to the charities in the city that will make best use of them. My sister is finding people and places who can make use of the medical equipment crammed into my storage locker. I have filled my paper recycling bin twice over and have another big box for paper that should probably best be shredded. I have given away soap and and clothes hangers and glassware and candlesticks and framed prints of chubby children sitting around Christmas trees.
It will feel weird not to go visit on Friday. Instead I have an appointment at his bank and then I will come back here and go through more boxes. When I'm finished sorting through it all I will have a small pile of sentimental items like watches and photos and I will call his sisters and see if any of them want any of it.
And then it will be done.
