Hey, every time I went over to our old house to clean stuff out I cried. First time I lasted like 30 min. before breaking down. Second a little longer, 3rd a little longer. I had to do it all myself b/c he just pretty much abandoned everything except his clothes. I know exactly how you feel. My son, h, and I had painted and put stencils, etc. on d3's wall before she was born and that was the hardest room for me to deal with b/c of the memories there. To say it stings is an understatement.
