@gingin @MISSINGROSIE I, too, had to settle my brother's estate and it was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. He left us his house here in FL after asking me if we would care for it. He only lived in it 7 years and it was the only home he had owned. I just couldn't see strangers occupying it. Sometimes when I'm sweating in the garden and a cool breeze comes I think perhaps he is sending it to thank us for taking care of everything for him. Speaking of dreams, soon after he passed away I had one where my mother and aunt were sitting calmly on a bench in a beautiful garden and all they said was, "We're waiting for you." It somehow comforted me, especially they were in such a nice place!
Any day you wake up on the sunny side of the grass is a good day.
