Afterlife

(1975 April 23)

I too feel bad about breaking up Daddy's Irish [stamp] Collection - he had spent years on it & had so many rare stamps. However, once we talked about disposition of our things after our deaths and he said he didn't care at all what happened to his stuff after he was gone. I feel the other way and would like my things to go to the proper place or person. And I said so. Then he thought a minute and said, "H--m - no - why should I care about that then?" I did not reply. It is so hard to talk about that subject! But I wondered what he was thinking - about many subjects - and often hesitated asking. But here I took it to mean after he left us, he would then be busy with other things, such as getting his soul nearer to God.
