My brother Bill and his wife Cathy are coming to visit Mom this weekend. At Mom's request, Bill is driving his truck. Mom is really wanting to clear things out and get the house finished. She is hoping Bill will take home some family heirlooms. And if there is room, he might take some things for Gayle as well.
Mom is enjoying watching the progress on the house and giving things away. It still seems odd to me, but it's what she wants to do. Maybe in a way, she is saying goodbye to her most valuable possessions bit by bit, instead of all at once. And maybe in some way, it will make it easier for us to say goodbye to our dear Mama, instead of saving it all for the final leave-taking.
Anyway, she certainly knows her mind; so what Mama wants, we do.
