Yes Sage, it irks me as well. I do think that it is a case of insensitivity on his part considering that I had previously explained to him how seeing her gifts in our home acted as a painful reminder of her presence and was counter-productive to the healing process.
I felt like saying, "if they're just inanimate objects with no real sentimental value, then why don't you just get rid of them or at the very least keep them out of my sight. Are my feelings worth less than those things?
I did go back over to Parkside before he got there on Sunday and put the dictionary back on it's shrine. He went there later to mow and feed his snakes and later mentioned that he'd noticed that I'd been there, but that is all he had to say.
I figure I'll leave it be for now and just wait to see if he does something with it that would be more in line with my needs. I've thrown the ball back into his court, so it's now up to him to do (or not do) the right thing.
You guys looked FABULOUS in your cheerleader outfits. And boy can you kick!
