  Bless you, Allan, your wife and famiy.  I thought today about you before I read your note tonight, and remembered when Sophie died, I put everything away.  Her dishes, toys, leash, coat so I wouldn't have to look at them.  But as the shock wore off, I returned her dishes to their place, toys in the corner and hung her coat back her hanger.  Her coat still hangs on the rack, her leash is in my dresser and her toys sit in the corner of the laundry room.  
 When it is time and you have grieved more, all of Zack's things can be moved to a special place so you can look at them from time to time.
 
 Such a painful time for you, Allan and keep writing all of your thoughts and feelings.  You are safe here, no one will judge you.
 
 Time will ease the pain but I was broken hearted for weeks.   So glad you will be able to go and visit Zack's special place of rest.
 
 Warmly, Deborah
