My place is full of things that have attachments to people who are long dead. Sometimes they're like a giant ball and chain that gets heavier all the time.

I know that feeling. Dad also left his '68 XKE, as well as other toys to me. I can't seem to do anything with them, but I won't get rid of them. Someday I'll get out there and do something with them, but for now it's a place of solitude where I feel most attached to him. It sounds odd, but that's what it is to me.
