11. I never have been inclined to keep things.

My mother still has dishes that I remember from when I was a little kid in the 1940's. The oldest thing I have (aside from my own old, wrinkled self) is a ten-year-old T-shirt. (Goodwill does a brisk business in my old discards)

My mom still has some first communion pictures of me and my sisters. I'm hoping those will get passed down to my sisters when the time comes. I'm the very last person in the world who should be entrusted with heirlooms. Keepsakes are just more mathoms to dust and clean. Especially religious mathoms.
