Over the past year..I have been going through 'stuff'..clothes and other items. Of Becky's and yes, my own stuff! I have dropped off at a favorite place Becky liked. Today, I took some general items..not too many clothes. An office chair that I could still see Becky sitting in..As I drove away, I looked back at that solitary chair..alone claiming its small domain on the sidewalk outside of the destination I left it. I stared back..I had slight emotion, the measure of it was much less in swell and duration than previous drop-offs. I thought to myself..yes, wow, life is really moving on, how should I feel? Well, not to over analyze, just think this is what it is..go with it...and go with the thought that the chair will also move on to a good home..it was time, Becky would like this.
Much Love,
Bill
A big PS. Also preparing to go to my childhood home to go thru, purge stuff....This home has been a constant for my entire life. A Norman Rockwell type childhood I had. Still returned many, many times over the years. Sometimes 2 to 3 times a year. This will be an emotional time. But, must do this task.

Yes, going through stuff can be hard. I am so awed by your actions and healing.
ReplyDeleteThese past 4 weeks my bro. John and i have been going through family slides and home movies. Not as hard as I thought. As we do not have a working 8 or Super 8 projector we can't view the movies. Getting the whole box converted to DVD is costly. Trying to get PEOPLE movies and not travel stuff. no sound so they are a problem. Costco here we come.
