I am not sure what to say about the emotional affects that dealing with that material might induce. It could bring a fuller sense of closure but then again it could stir up some bad memories.

It makes such a difference to house prices and quality of life which council has control too. I have just looked back at your previous post and think you should transcribe your father's notes. You could make a novel out of it too. Greg left copious half-written stories which I have stored in the cellar in a huge box. I keep thinking I should dig them out and read them, but something holds me back.ADDYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01018958238940897902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-46452996232726155662021-02-06T15:17:55.407+00:002021-02-06T15:17:55.407+00:00That top photo is a beautiful shot -- so colorful....That top photo is a beautiful shot -- so colorful.

We did spend some time going through photos and labeling those photos, putting them in an album, but there are questions I didn't even know I wanted answers to and now it's too late. My dad died twenty-three years ago and sadly I never missed him. He was such an angry, unhappy man, impossible to talk to. He tended to shout and shake. He needed far more hugs and attention than he ever got from any of us but he did a great job of pushing us all away.<br /><br />Anyway, I digress.
