Reminiscing
This is a really terrible thing to discuss, but I need to get it off my chest.
Mike went to help clean out his grandma's apartment tonight. I didn't go with him - he didn't think it was appropriate for Zion to be there, and I agreed with him.
He came home with a carload of stuff. I have to say, I can understand the keepsakes - the statue he played with when he was little, the toys she had for Zion, the candle pillar thingies he liked - but I'm having a hard time using a dead woman's towels.
Is this weird or insensitive of me?
His dad also gave him some stuff from her freezer to bring home, and a whole bunch of canned goods. Now we're getting ready to eat a dead woman's food.
I love her, and I know it's what she wanted, but I'm still having a hard time with this concept. Isn't that strange? My family's the one that's so open about death, and I'm having the problem with the situation..
Ok, sorry if this post made me sound completely insensitive and weird. Just needed to get it off my chest.
