Every "THANG" Matters but you don't need EVERYTHING.

Senior Move Manager Story
This was my grandmother Miriam's "Moo Moo".  Every day, she'd come home from wherever she was, remove her clothes and slip into something more comfortable, a house robe like this one. On Thursday nights, I would go over after work. I would take my work clothes off, borrow one of her robes and join my grandparents for dinner followed by a night watching "Friends" and whatever else was on the Thursday night line up.   I was fortunate enough to be an only grandchild of only grandparents.  They spoiled me rotten but also taught me so much about attitude.  (More on that in a later post.)  When my grandmother passed away and we had to clear out all of her things, I selected one of her robes to remember our "Thursday Date Nights".   Each member of the Silver Linings Transitions team has a similar story or fond memories of their own grandparents.    When we work with our clients, we try to convey the idea that although you can't keep everything, you can select a few items that represent your memories.  Most of my grandmothers robes were donated.  I've kept this one for 14 years and still put it on when I want to feel close to her. ​
