You are so lucky that you have Phillips clothes. I wish I had Bobby's clothes. I only have some pajama pants and a old sweat shirt. I wear them sometimes to feel closer to him. Last Christmas, my grand daughter Leah, came up from Florida wearing one of Bobby's old Fire Department jackets with his name on it. I wore it for days and it felt so good.
Have you seen the quilts that you can have made from pieces of clothing? I would like to have one of those made or one with a picture of Bobby on it.
I have his ashes. I intended to have them buried just as soon as we all get back together again. Right now, my husband and I live in Louisiana, my daughter and son live in Georgia, and Bobby's wife and children live in Florida, but in a few years we will all be living in Georgia again (hopefully) and I will have a grave site for him. But I am so used to having his ashes here with me everyday, that I don't know if I can ever part with them. It is probably very selfish of me, but I am still holding onto them and when I go to bed, I come in here and kiss him goodnight. What would I do without them?
I look for a sign of Bobby everywhere. Even though it has been almost two years, I still don't feel like it is "final." Like something will still happen to make it better. It is a feeling I cannot explain. Maybe the reality of it has not set in yet, or maybe it is my way of not accepting his death.
You take care.
