Yesterday was tough

Yesterday we cleaned out my uncle's apartment after he suddenly and unexpectedly passed away in early 2025. It was very emotional for all of us, but especially for my father, who is the only living member of his family of origin.

My late uncle lived in the same apartment in inner-city Stockholm for over 53 years, so the amount of things that had neither sentimental nor financial value was enormous. As I was sorting through my uncle's things, I came to the realization that the world's most perfect teenager will say the same thing I said yesterday, "f**k what a lot of junk mom and dad had".

From now on, I will continuously clean out and throw away all unnecessary things and also refrain from buying junk to save Junior unnecessary work when the time comes. The "only" problem is the world's most perfect husband who wants to save everything...
