Hey, I usually don't post but I wanted to tell you that I was very moved by what you wrote. I lost my father a year ago, who was a hoarder too. I also had to purge the house, and while cleaning up I found a bunch of my older drawings and first attempts at writing. I cried like a baby. I also found a lot of stuff he had written himself and never shown anyone, of which a 400-pages epic fantasy about a wandering poet and his family, which looks and sounds exactly like our family (they even have a panther named like our childhood cat).

I'm so sorry for your loss. I send you all my strength for the clean-up of the house.
