Today I was thinking about the fate of our collections, because I went to someone's house to pick up some book.
A woman posted on a Facebook group that she wanted to find a new home for her father's books, who just moved into a care home.
I really appreciated the books, but I couldn't help feeling sorry for the old man, because I might be in his shoes in 50 or 60 years, or even less. And guilty, because I was taking away things that meant something to him
She told me they gave him time for closure.
She told me they gave him some time for closure, but I'm sure parting with a collection built over 50 years must be difficult.
Anyhow, she ended up taking a picture of me carrying the books, to let her father know that some of them ended up in good hands.
Thanks for reading my blog.
