I had the saddest day in my life just two weeks ago when my mother passed away.  She was only 75 and taken from us far too early.  She is my first parent to go, and I feel a huge ache in my heart, and I don’t know if it will ever go away.

Even though I am overwhelmed by sadness, as her executor I have a job to do.  She picked me to carry out her wishes after her death and I won’t violate that trust by shirking my responsibilities.  We have already read the will, and now we are going to have an auction of all her possessions.

My siblings and I have already gone through the house and taken those items which will help us remember our mother, but we will be selling the rest.  We have decided to hold an auction sale, and we have hired a firm to run it for us.

I think that it will do okay since mother was a bit of an art collector and she also has some health related items such as a stair lift and some lift recliners.  I think the worst part about it will be when the house is up for auction as all of us grew up there.

I will miss my mother dearly and love her forever.  I just wish she wasn’t gone.
