CW, I felt the same way. For a very long time I couldn't bear the idea of throwing those mementos away or otherwise destroying them. He was always great in that he actually read through cards and picked ones that meant something to him and wrote sweet, sweet things in them. I refused to believe that man was gone.

Years passed though and that day I got very mad. No reason at all--it was just a wave of grief and anger and suddenly I couldn't stand the thought of that stuff in my house anymore. It was a pile of lies because he obviously didn't mean it when he said he'd love me forever. They had lost all their precious meaning and I didn't want (or need) to keep them anymore.

Thank you for your prayers. You'll be in my thoughts too. I so wish I had a magic wand I could wave and make everything all better for everyone here.
