cleaning closet

I just finished cleaning out my father-in-law's closet and ready to deliver his suits and entire wardrobe to the Homeless Shelter. So many nice suits for the men ready to get their life on track and head out to job interviews.... A beautiful cashmere coat he wore in the cold winter... Many memories of the times he wore various suits, shirts and jackets. 

I didn't think it would be as hard as it just was. We lost him just over a month ago.  I still expect him to wheel himself over to the dinner table and say his favorite phrase "What's goin' on" or greet the my kids off the bus "Hey buddy how was your day..."  I've learned so much in this past month. You're never really ready to say goodbye, but memories are so precious and you cherish those moments when the memories flood back. May something as simple as his wardrobe bring blessings to many. So neat to get to do what he always loved to do--give to those in need. One thing about Bob, he loved to give.
