"It's hard for my mom. Remember how you were saying every little thing in this city has Billy written all over it? That's how all that stuff is for her with my dad. Every little thing is him. It's huge to change anything. Even getting rid of our old nasty couch would be hard for you."
"An accounting book, like this thick, just full of all the rules of accounting you could ever want to know. Tons of financial statements of random companies. Years old."
"Most of the papers were just financial statements, no reason we should keep them. But sometimes there would be a little scribble of his handwriting or something. And man. It's hard to throw it away."
"I feel bad being the one that is doing it. It feels like something I should be doing with everyone there."
"I found some pictures of one of our Zion/Subway trips with the scouts, me and Lee and Austen and maybe like Zach and Foster were there, all the gang I was in scouts with when my dad was in Scouts. It was so crazy."
"I brought home some cool stuff, like dehydrator trays. Some of my dad's old books from his mission, Articles of Faith and old school scouting books."
"I try and keep all the sentimental things, but the problem is that even the most worthless financial statement seems sentimental. Just because it was his."
