Clothes

Dear god but it was hard last night. We decided to tackle my dad's clothes. I knew it was gonna be hard, but some of the shirts.. All the memories flooding in of seeing him wearing them. The newer ones weren't so bad, I'd hardly seen some, but then we got through it and it just never got easier.

At the end, Mom and I turned to one another, and as she hugged me she told me 'It just feels like I'm throwing him away." We know we aren't, we know they gotta go. I didn't want to force her to do it so soon, but honestly I was afraid she just wouldnt get to it very soon on her own, and I didn't WANT her going through that on her own.

I'm taking some home for Vince, I think he'll use them. If he doesn't then I can get rid of them there, but Mom will feel better. She didn't want to throw any away, but we didn't think even Good Will would take alot of them. I know theres been a surplus of clothes in the system after hte hurricanes, I've read about warehouses full of clothes going to rot because they just weren't needed. What a bloody shame.

More phone calls today, maybe some running around for me. Mom is dreading today I think. We really need to get ahold of Prudential, thats where most of the policies are. Cross your fingers for us k?
