One of my parents is in care, and when I cleaned out the apartment (because they wouldn't be living alone without help, ever again), it was poignant to skim a datebook that showed evidence of trying to hold onto memory and basic observation. Every few months, a notation of me (the only child) and a few other names. "Does this tell me about the person it belonged to" sounds like a great rule of thumb--I have one or two more rounds of culling to do, so it's useful, thank you.
