Man: Everynight I lie awake worrying that when we go, our kids will have to come in and go through all the junk we've kept. Don't you worry about that? Woman: Uh...hello...that's what kids are for.
That sure worked with me and my folks, but going through it started with ill health, not death. They had become hoarders. Then they were both out of the house for an entire week, and I rented a 6 cubic yard dumpster. Filled it and when they came back, they couldn’t tell anything was different. All in all, I filled 4 dumpsters of that size, and one smaller one. Then after my father passed, I found a photocopy of a document with very, very valuable autographs on them with a note in his handwriting: “I have the original”. Never did find it. First recorded case where somebody actually succeeded in “taking it with them.”
