Cleaning

What I am cleaning out are things that I had kept around for my wife.

Couple of weeks ago I cleaned out my main email box.  So much there I saved, for months, years even, to take up with my wife when the opportunity presented itself.   Some emails concerned health tips that were too relevant as it turned out.  Trash.

So many videos too, that I collected in the hopes of seeing with my wife someday.   Chick flicks, historical flicks.   Movies we saw together but will never see again.  Trash.

Same with a number of books.   Trash. 

Same too with so many plans.  Hopes and plans for vacations, trips, events, places.  Trash.  

But not all of those last.  I am working on a goal for the future:  to revisit the places where my wife and I were happiest, and to visit for her those places where we both wanted to go but never did.
