Answering questions about dyslexia

I have shared in the past that when we bought our home not too long ago we downsized. It’s been a painful process getting rid of things you thought you needed. A few weeks ago we cleaned out a mini-storage unit, you know the kind with the roll up door and a padlock. For almost two years we have been paying $40.00 a month for storing things we have not used in a million years. A lot of the things we keep are for the twenty four year old that used to live at our house.

We love her but she has been advised that we can only keep her high school memories for so long.
