Ticking Forward

I just did the impossible~

started to clean the basement,

and if you have been to my house

you know about "the" basement.

If you want something, I am sure it is there.

Why was it so hard to tackle this daunting task?

The memories.

From my kids' baby clothes

to legos

to stuffed animals

to puffy painted shirts

to handprint pictures from school.

The memories

attached to each and every thing.
