What can I say but this is wonderful. I lost my oldest sister 4 years ago and I sent out special thank yous to family and friends with a write up all about my sister. This was so helpful to me to cope with my lose. We all deal with losing loved one in different ways. It is always difficult.

You and your family are in my prayers.

Yep, I've found that inspiration is the best cleaning/ organizing tool around. And that's what this forum supplies for me... inspiration. I often see cleaning products and gadgets and think, Now, if I had one of them the task would get done. And then if i buy it, I get it home and put it in the cupboard and wow, it doesn't get the task done at all, not all by itself. Nope. I've found that what gets the task done is simply me getting up and shifting myself about. A cloth, a bit of water and a dollop, of sudsy stuff cleans most of the areas in my house, gadgets/products or no. It's just the inspiration to get said cloth and sudsy stuff into my lazy little old hand that is the missing factor. I found that by reading posts on here, I was inspired to make my spaces just how I want them to be, clean, organized and de-cluttered. If someone asks how to best sort their sock drawer, I find myself wanting to go look in mine. And if someone says they've just sparkled their bathroom mirrors, I think, "Oh, maybe mine need a bit of a rub up". I guess it just changes our perspective or attitude to know someone else out in the world is also wiping down toothpaste specks and hosing out their wheelie bin? Keep the inspiration coming. It works better for me than all the bleach and detergent in the world. Cheers from lily

I would say what goes around comes around. Your SIL is a remarkable women, Thistledew, and she obviously feels the same about you. Your story was the warmest one I've read in a long time. I'm so sorry about your recent health issues. It certainly sounds like you're strong, and you sure have a loving family to help you through it.

I'm so sorry about the passing of your Sister. That damn cancer is a horrific and nondiscrimination disease. The passing of Elizabeth must have brought many memories back to you. It doesn't matter how much time has passed, news like this brings the pain back. We lost our precious Daughter-in-law a year ago in June. Although the pain has eased some, the empty feeling will probably be there until i join her. I send you (((((Hugs))))) and wish you Peace.

Our family found a different solution. Our children live in the PacNW; usually we go up there to visit them. But a few years ago we had our get-together here. We have a very small home, two bedrooms and baths; the only other place to sleep would be on an air mattress in the living room. Not doing that at my age. So we had the house cleaned spic and span, all polished up, and stocked the fridge (all of them are excellent cooks) and I also made welcome baskets with goodies for each son and wife and our DGS. Assigned the front bedroom to DS1 and DIL and the master suite to DS2 and DIL and DGS, with its adjacent laundry room. For ourselves, DH and I took a comfortable room in a nearby motel, thereby putting the sons and families together in comfort, but no one squashed anywhere. We would come to the house between 9 and 10 a.m.i, and have an all day visit, going here and there, then dinner either at home or out together. Then around 6 - 7 p.m. DH and I returned to the motel for a long relaxed evening of unwinding and having some quiet. It was wonderful! We all agreed that it was one of the best family visits ever! We did this for 5 days and no one got tired of anyone else and there wasn't a single harsh word...We hope to do it again this year. I would allow my sister (if I were lucky enough to have a sister) and niece to be comfortable with their sleeping plans, and would not fret about being together 24/7.

That is very, very beautiful. It touched my heart, and I've never even met Charlotte. She clearly lived every day of her life to its fullest, and showed her loved ones how much she loved them every day.
