Clothes

Dear Mom,
I took most of your clothes, shoes and purses to the Gateway House today. Dad asked me to pack it all up last weekend. He kept a few items for himself. I threw out things like your underwear (I didn't think anyone would want that!), your make-up etc. It wasn't easy. In fact, it just plain sucked. I gave Serena a few of your purses. Jack wanted that old lion purse mirror that you used to carry. He likes to play with it! Dad wasn't going to let him have it but I insisted on it. Jack is having a hard time with this, as you know.

Other than that, I am taking this one day at a time. I'm not sure how to handle dad. He seems to only want Laura around and Laura's attention. Has it always been that way and I just never noticed? Was it that way when we were kids? I've tried to help him but I just don't think I can.

I miss you, Mom. I can't really look at pictures of you yet. All I can see is you in the hospital. I've been told that will fade over time. I surely hope so.

Take care,
Anna
