I’m of the school that wants to get on with it. By that I mean something that needs to be done, but is painful, should be done quickly. I needed to dispose of my Leos’ clothing as it was a constant reminder that he was no longer with us. Also the clothing was of good quality and there are lots of people who need clothes and would benefit from them.
Two months went by and I could not get it done. Finally it’s done. Eight bags of clothes sent off to veterans groups and to St. Vincent De Paul. All of it clean and in excellent condition.
One quick agonizing rip. Spent a lot of time crying and feeling lost but it needed to be done. My memories don’t really depend on material things. We have all kept one or two items of his for sentiment sake. That’s enough, we have our memories of the finest man ever.
