Where and what?

My dear Lee,

We can't find Mary's power washer. Do you know where it is? We have looked in every out building No luck. We are sure you know where it is!!! Can you send us a message ?

 I also cannot locate your 'robe' - the one you wore to the christening in January. By the way I received a card from the family and they sent some lovely pictures of you and the baby!! You all look gorgeous!

Did you send the garment to the dry cleaners? Louise and Lynda do not know where it is. No one at the hospitals know where it is. I wanted to pass it along to someone who would use it.

I found a small brass container in amongst your treasures.Its flat like a small compact. Inside it looks like dirt. Is that someone else's ashes? I do not have a clue.

Donna from the Tingey place came over this afternoon with a lovely gift of pictures taken at the service out on the lawn. Lovely pictures of our horses.

I just loaded up dozens and dozens of shoes that belonged to you. You must have collected them from Value Village. I swear I have never see any of them before. Your car was full of them! I think there is a pair for every work outfit you owned. I did not realise you liked shoes so much! Another secret.....!

I went through your day timer today. In the hospital you asked me to cancel appointments and commitments that you had made for the upcoming couple of months. Nothing is written on March 14. That was the day you died. I have all the dates you went to the doctor, got haircuts, had meetings with your volunteers. Your birthday is tomorrow. You will be 68. Should I be saying you would have been 68? I don't know.

I puttered a lot today. I run into evidence of you all over the place. You will never be erased from here. We got out the settee confessional chairs and they are ready for conversations. We will talk to you every day.
