I'm taking some of his nicer things to work - some of the guys were interested in the shirts and ties - but I don't know how I'll feel if they actually WEAR them - then again - I want them to go to good use.
But it was really hard. I have about 21 bags ready for the Purple Heart people to pick up and wouldn't you know - they scheduled me the day I move out. |
V- I can relate..sorta. When my granny passed (she was more like my mom to me...we were incredibly close...and she is the first person I had ever lost that I was close to)...My aunt, who she was staying with when she passed, sent me all of her things, including the pj's she was wearing when she passed away. I also had a closet full of her clothes from when she came to visit me before she got really sick. I still have them all. I have decided that I am going to have quilts made out of what I can, and will donate the rest. I thought it would be nice to make a few quilts..one for me, one for my mom, one for my sister. I haven't even begun this process and it has been 5 years. I will one day tho. maybe if there are some things that you really don't want to let go of, you can do something like this...
