Spent the afternoon cleaning out my mother’s apartment with my brothers, who are in town for this task. We got a lot done, but it was intense and draining. Shout out to my wonderful niece Anne who took endless loads of clothes and personal effects to the Agrace Hospice thrift store. I am so grateful for my amazing family as we help each other through this difficult process.

Have a family member you love who you haven’t spoken to in a while? Give them a call this weekend. It will be worth it.
