I agree. I justify this by telling myself that now that she's out of the house, there will now be periods of time with little or no contact. And I want her to know how I feel.
That same thing that was discussed where I think if I say it the right way or say it enough, it will connect. I know it won't and I shouldn't do it.
However, I know I've said it before and she knows what I feel and I should stop.
The only person who cares how you feel is yourself.
Its like the stuff she left behind.
You can look for symbols in it. Or see it for what it really was. Keeping the stuff there is cheaper than putting in a 8x10 storage. It is also stuff she no longer wants. And it will be stuff to initiate contact to make sure your still saying "how high" when she says "jump"
So bag it up and move it to the garage.
It will be very hard. But it is something that needs to be done.
Flowers always make people better, happier, and more helpful; they are sunshine, food and medicine for the soul. unconditional love is awesome!
