The hardest part of all of this is going back into a home that's waiting for someone to return. Finding the candy on the TV stand and slippers by the door like he will be here later. Instead it's me, feeling like I'm invading my dad's privacy going through things I shouldn't. Packing clothes in to trash bags, dishes into boxes, and going through 40+ years of life. It's finding my mom's things and reliving pain from her passing. It's trying to figure out, what can I donate and where, feeling guilty knowing so much will be thrown away, and trying to figure out what can I keep for me. This is a pain I wouldn't wish on anyone.
I miss my mom and dad.
