What do we leave our children?

As we age and get to the point we are unable to live independently, what do we do with our personal things.  Oh, but wait a minute, we are now too old to even sort through these things that we needed so bad when they first made them.  We used the items, then something new came out and the first item sat on the shelf collecting dust.  Now along comes the only adult child left and this person is elected to clean out your apartment.  Will this person know what to keep, or what to throw out?  Usually they don't.  All of these things meant something to you, but not to them.  You must also wonder if that child has room to take all your worldly possessions with them.  This becomes a problem in many homes.  I guess you just go in and do your best.  What else can you do?  It sure isn't easy.  I think it is time to clean out the house - myself....
