Mom and I just got back from Grandpa's trailer. I know he was living really simple after grandma died but I really wasn't prepared for just how empty it was.
All of grandma's pictures were taken down. No TV, no computer, not even a radio. Only a couple sets of clothing in the closet. Barely looked like anyone was living there at all. It was kinda eerie.
Mom just kind of wandered through the trailer. I think it made her realize just how distant they'd been. I didn't know how to help with that. Still don't.
I found Grandpa's papers, from the will. Most of them were thrown in this old fashioned chest in his office. I took a look inside. Looks like quite a job, all sorts of files and loose papers just stacked in there. Some of them aren't even in English, I don't think. Freaking thing must weigh 500 pounds. Guess I'm in charge of those.
No way I could lift the whole thing. I grabbed a couple files off the top so at least I can get started on those.
Mom didn't want to stay long. I will go back for the rest later.
