Dare I Leave Them

Nineteen tubs of family photos 
Some with wedding photos of people 
who are now divorced.
No one wants them.

But maybe later?

It is so difficult to know what to do.
Dare I leave all of these tubs for my children?
Isn't it bad enough they are going to have to unload the
rest of my houseful of junk?

Nineteen tubs.
Can I face them?
Not today.
