So lovely. I might be crying. When my parents gave up the family home, I took pictures to remind me.

Oh, Cathy, thank you. I wish I had more pictures of my childhood home too, but they're all back home in the Philippines with my mother.

Such a great idea! And now my boy is 12 and I feel like I've missed the boat...

Omg 12 already! Were you ruthless at decluttering? We don't have a lot of space in these tiny Amsterdam flats so I was really feeling the need to do it na.

This is so beautiful 🥰

How blessed to be surrounded with such support and talent. I feel the energy through these beautiful captures of time.

Yes! Letting go is a challenging one. I recently decided to part with some of my mother's belongings (she passed away more than 30 years ago). One was a beautiful Chinese black lacquer table. It's been in a corner for a while, not really being loved. I've had my time with it. I said to my sister, "Mom is in my heart, not in these things". I've been drowning in stuff of parents and in-laws who have passed for many years. I desire to reclaim my space.

Thank you for this reminding nudge to keep going.

Bravo to you! ❤️
