Trip Booked

Yesterday I booked my trip to Florida. It is a trip that I have been putting off but knew it was inevitable. The trip is to clean out my parent's apartment so it can be sold. I spent 16 wonderful years vacationing there so I hate to spend the 17th year on a somber note. The apartment is filled with wonderful memories and happy times. I will have to make the decision of what gets donated, what comes home and what gets carted away. I am sure that I will relive each memory as I do it. It is too hard to take my father with me and i know that upsets him. He is better off remembering how it was rather than how it will be.
