The day my husband, James, passed away was a day I’ll never forget. It wasn’t just any day — it was our anniversary, the day we had always set aside to celebrate our love. We had been married for nearly fifteen years, and that day, like all others, had been filled with laughter, shared memories,…
When I first inherited my grandmother’s belongings, I wasn’t sure what to do with most of it.
