Interesting how you can say so much in such a short story. I could relate to it while reading because somehow, by coincidence, the character of the story is ME; very tidy, hate clutter, when my place is neat and tidy, my mind is too, and I can function better. I had a brother and we were not close at all. He was sick, and passed away. I received the news over the phone, in the middle of the night, here in Australia. He was so far away. All I could do was to order and send some flowers for his fineral. I WAS sad. Now there is no one from my close family in my country of origin to ring me. He used to ring me rarely, but still he did. All I have is our childhood memories, and photos. I also surprised myself by my sadness.
The author described how the woman went through her things in detail, I loved it.
Congratulations on succeeding to engage a reader to read and enjoy in your story.
