When my father passed away last year I had to change things in my life.  As I get older I have been trying to accept my responsiblities to my mother and the house that my father and mother tried to keep.  For years it has been there dream but since his passing I have wanted for me and my mother to move.  She has been holding on to her dream but I think even she knows that she can not keep the house up.  So over the next couple of months we will make the change to a smaller place to live and what does not have a place in the new residence will either be sold at a moving sale or precious things given to loved ones.  I know how hard it must be for her to watch her dream of home ownership die but my hope is that she see's that life will go on and she will change.  Hopefully she will be happier in her new surroundings.  My only wish is that this change in both of our lives is a smooth one.-weshar75
