everything makes me think of you

I knew certain things would make me think of you -- birds, flowers, anything purple or related to nature but so does any movie that was seen during my childhood, meals that you prepared for me.  Everything in my world seems connected to you somehow.

I bought a book on being an "orphaned adult" and Matte is reading it to me a little at a time.  It may be helpful in the end.  It does say that some people never recover from their grief over the loss of their parents, I hope that is not the case though it feels like it now.  I am grateful to him for his kindness and patience with my grief, I don't know that I would have that kind of patience for someone else, I hardly have it for myself.    I know you would be very disappointed in my behavior but what does it matter now?


These pretty lilacs were from Melody's yard while I was there just a few weeks ago but it some ways it feels like you have already been gone for a very long time.
