We went to spend some time with Erik's parents tonight after church. Wow, what alot of burdens unexpected death brings. There are so many things to do, loose ends to tie up. Paperwork galore. I need to get our stuff in order a little better just in case someone had to come in and go through all of our crap. It also reminds me how unimportant all the "stuff" we have is. Most of it is just crap to everyone else!!
NOTE TO SELF: SELL ALOT OF CRAP ON EBAY!!

I am currently learning this very lesson:
"It also reminds me how unimportant all the "stuff" we have is. Most of it is just crap to everyone else!!
Is it okay to use that quote sometime? It is so true!
I am praying God will work through you to comfort Erik's family this week.
I've often thought the same thing. I've been to auctions and estate sales where people are selling enormous collections of beanie babies, Barbie Dolls and who-knows-what else that they spent years and big $$$$ collecting. I'm not saying you can't collect things, but when you think of all the time and money spent collecting stuff that's going to end up in a garage sale for a fraction of what you paid for it... it seems like such a waste.
I'm sorry about the burdens. That's a scary thing to me. Not MY death, but a loved one's death. It's not like people take classes to show them what they need to do to prepare things for their inevitable death. No one likes to think about it--much less prepare for it.
