Lending a Hand

I am going to visit the husband of my dear friend who recently passed away. He asked me to sort out her clothing and some of her personal items. This will be a bit hard for me. I haven't been to their home since before she went to the hospital over a month ago. The place will be filled with fond memories of her and I will try to focus on the happier times. I have told her husband not to push himself. Better to take it a little at a time and not get overwhelmed with emotions. There is no need to get rid of everything. Keep things that will bring a smile. Much of her clothing will come with me. I know quite a few people that will be able to wear the clothing. I am going to select some of her favored clothing to make into pillows for her family members. I hope they will be happy to receive them. Although I don't have room for more houseplants, her husband is giving me some of her plants. I will cherish them. A had given her a couple of them, they will be coming home with me too. I had given her a Grinch stocking last year for Christmas. I asked if I could have that. He agreed that I should have it. When I gave it to my dear friend, she cried. She loved the Grinch. Said that she would keep it hanging year round. It is what I will do as well. Once I drop Little Miss off at my sister's, I am heading out. Have to compose myself first. Put on a smile, and get this done.
