I don't want to ever be asked that question again (Warning: Language)

[Ebony]

It's better to have been asked that, than to have to look at the pile of things that used to belong to someone you knew and loved, and have to divvy it up like it's loot in a D&D game. Going through my father's things four years ago (almost exactly) and having to figure out what to keep and what to toss and what I wanted of his was hard. If I could have sat down with him beforehand, talked about the things I wanted, and talked to him about why, I think it might have helped with the grief, because there would have been a good memory attached to it, instead of "I have this pocket knife because it was my father's, and he's dead."
