I'm sorry for your loss. I too and the "Last Man Standing" in my family; it's odd to be the orphan, isn't it?
It's as though an entire world's entryway is now closed to you. All those stories you laughed about, all those memories you could share with someone who lived the same life, or in the same house, growing up....that's all gone. You'll never again laugh together about the time Dad sold the camper van to some guy, and forgot that Grandpa (in his post-crematorium ashy state) was still inside the dashboard storage spot, and you made me go steal him back from the new owner. My first big criminal enterprise! The realization of that is the first odd reaction I had to it. You can never talk about this again, or that--the people who shared that world with you are all gone. Weird, hunh? Hitch |

Places too, the "ranch" is under 60 feet of water. The pump jacks I used to ride as a kid are long gone. The old neighborhood where I grew up is a shambles. The quilts are stacked 6 deep on the guest bed, , , |

Yes, my family home has been sold off and the subsequent buyers didn't think that they wanted/needed all the acreage, so they sold off tracts of land which are now subdivided, changing the entire area from a lovely country home to just another old house, nearly sandwiched between tawdry new McMansions. All our memories get trashed. That's why the ones we get to share and laugh about, with our surviving family members, while we have them, are precious--for as I said, when that last living person is gone, the only other one that remembers those days--it really is like somebody shutting down the Stargate to another world. This is one of those things that you don't really understand or feel acutely until you really are the Last Man Standing. Hitch |

So sorry. BTDT. Not fun. Worst was a time I got it after a business lunch during a power outage in SF. It hit the next day on the plane to Hawaii for a vacation. Trust me, you don’t want this on a plane.
groan! |
