We are known as the sandwhich generation.  On the one hand, we must look
after our aging parents.  On the other hand, we also need to take care
of our growing children.  There is not much left to look after
ourselves...

At the time my father-in-law was dying, my wife was unemployed. She
spent all day, every day, taking care of him.  The up side of that is
that now that he's been gone for 4 years, she can look back and know
that she did what was needed at the time and made sure he was taken care
of.

My folks moved when in their 70s and were forced to go through my dad's
40+ years of junk in the cellar of the home they lived in for those 40+
years.  We were allowed to take what we wanted from what he was getting
rid of.  I took his 78s (just a small box of them was left, the rest
having been used as frisbees by me when I was 4 years old) and an old
record player.  Not much else was worth taking except maybe lots of used
lumber, but no one in the family had the room for the lumber. 

Now their basement at the new house is very clean with little or no
clutter.  

That will make things easier in the future when we need to go through
things.
