It's almost 27 years old. I do still have the T-shirt I was wearing on my first date w/ G&T tucked away in a keepsake box somewhere. Other than that, T-shirts are the first to go! I don't wear them well. Oops, forgot my wedding dress when I did my F5. It’s almost 27 years old.

I have a duffel bag in a closet filled with them from various high school events that I often have thought about finding someone to quilt them together for me and put it... exactly. Wedding dress - I have that too, I was never sure where that should go although it was an obvious keeper. Not sure where it headed now but I will certainly not make an rash decisions. No matter what - I looked AMAZING on that day! I agree on the t-shirt thing.

I never get things there, but I'm usually donating to them or BB/BS (Big Brothers Big Sisters). BB/BS is probably my slight preference because they'll come and pick it up, which is convenient when you're a busybusy seminarian!

there is a cost in saving things (because we have to store it and care for it and go through it whenever we’re looking for something else). there’s also a cost in getting rid of stuff if we’re really meant to save it. it’s all a matter of discernment, i guess.

Unfortunately, I am still renting a storage unit in Bellingham, WA, with things from my parents home from when my dad died in 1992. I live in S. Texas, and all that stuff is still up there. I am sure I'd part with more stuff now, but I'm too far away. It’s hard to get rid of things of our departed loved ones.
