That must have been such an emotional time Steve. It’s a testament to your ties to your family that you were able to sort it out together. I’ve heard from too many people how going through such difficult times just caused arguments, which is why I was glad that, as an only child, I was able to sort out my Mam’s household effects myself. Mind you, hearing your account makes me think that having siblings would have made it easier, not harder.
I have mentioned to my boys that when Graham and I pop our clogs that getting on together and loving each other as brothers is more important than quarrelling about ‘stuff’.
