7 years ago

 I took a look back at this time in 2019. Nothing much exciting was going on.

I was still struggling with getting rid of Wade's clothes. They stayed in the closet for quite some time because I was feeling like if I got rid of them I was getting rid of the last bit of him that was still here.


I was still in the bakery at the store where I worked.

I didn't look or feel as old as I do now and apparently I enjoyed clowning around in my spare time

It would be a strange world if we all looked as we did when younger.

Looking back is bittersweet sometimes, isn't it? Love the picture of you.

Heart goes out to you at the thought of having to do this. Your cake baking was always enjoyable to see, loved your decorating style and looking at you in your clown outfit? You’ve got a real twinkle in the eyes :)

I am sometimes shocked at how much I've aged! That wasn't supposed to happen! Memories can surprise us with their force of emotion.

Remembering is a good thing. I've been with you for many years. You made me smile and feel sad in one post.

Have a fabulous day and week. Big hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. ♥

I can understand that removing his clothes would be very difficult. The clown photo is so cute. Take care.

I think getting rid of a loved one's clothes is common. It's just so...final. The bakery seems like a hundred years ago...doesn't it?

A lot has happened since then! I’ll have to go back to pictures and past blogs to remember what I was doing then. I love that clown picture, and I remember your beautiful cakes. ❤️

I cannot imagine a much sadder chore than having to do this. The sight and even the smell would be so overwhelming. I hope someone was with you for support.

Getting rid of those clothes must be just so difficult. I just can't imagine.

Rita said...

I think I look at the memory photos almost every day. :)

Always a shock looking in the mirror to see an old person!! I sure don't feel it though!
Must have been so hard going through the clothes!!!

Seven years.
You were a beautiful blue eyed clown though.
