So many memories contained in those things... why would you want to put them away? I can't even bear to go through Jessica's things yet... I can't imagine putting her things away (and Marcus's room is far more organized than Jessica's is! lol)<br /><br />Take care of Marcus's things - they meant a lot to him... and they mean a lot to you.<br /><br />I love you, sis. Thanks for sharing Marcus's things and the memories behind them. I hope you take comfort in his things and remember that you are not alone.

Each of us heals and grieves on our own time table. You go ahead and love, admire, and cherish all of "Marcus."

It's good to remember however you want to. I'm sure Marcus loves seeing his brothers hang out on his bed.

Those are...Oh Karen, I'm crying as I type this. Those aren't "things", they're visible memories. It's obvious you still cherish them. I have a case that my grandma used to keep her glasses in, and a train case from her luggage. Cards people gave her in the nursing home, little things from her house, a piece of cloth, some yarn, and most of all the scent of her still lingers on them. I'll never give them up. Maybe when I'm gone and they don't mean anything to anyone else, but for now they're still pieces of my grandmother that I can touch, and smell, and remember. God bless you, sweetie.
