My mum died 15 months ago.. She was ill, but it was sudden because it was aggressive undiagnosed bowel cancer.. I'm the executor of her will & tomorrow my final duty will be done & her house will be sold. I went there tonight to do a final meter reading & to check it was ok .. I just found it so emotional ., this wasn't just her home, it was mine too.. The house I lived in since the day I was born.. I haven't physically lived there for over 20 years, but tonight I took one last look at my old bedroom & remembered all the posters on the wall. I went into her bedroom & remembered coming home as a teenager & sitting on her bed telling her about my night out.. I stood in the garden & remembered the games that me & my friends played there & her playing with my own children.. 40+ years of memories in one place.., just feeling emotional. my final physical link with her is gone
