Your love for Candles
Your love for Candles
After a disastrous day yesterday (Cried so hard I went into depression mode and couldn't do anything for rest of the night). I found strength today. Since today is my day off from work. I decided to clean the apartment and get rid of things in the storage to make room for my stuff. My new roommate will be moving in June and I will be away from May 11-27 (Asia Trip) I think I should start ahead of time clearing my 2nd bedroom for rental. That way I am not stuck with so much work when I come back from my trip.
I cleared out his clothes in the drawers which was so freaking hard. I still haven't touch his clothes in the closet. Those I am having a hard time letting those go because I see him wearing those most of the time, and non from his drawers. Also the smell, the height the clothes are hanged almost match his height. I still grab on to them and hug the hell out of it.
I realize what a collector he was just hoarding away tons of stuff. First I organize his photos, then his Holiday Cards, and now his Candles... seems like a headache for some, but for me, I think it's just so cute.

Thanks all...been feeling up and down all day long. It's like a yo yo. Feels like I'm Bi polar. Rain is not helping also. At Least I had the strength to clean up a bit yesterday.
Joyce; I hope the candles wont melt into one large Brick during summer lol.
kk; I'm having problems with his daily clothes and suits... I will ask a friend to come and take them all when I'm away in Asia. :(

Nathan, wow, you are doing good. I know it must've been hard. I tried the closet (my husband used the closet in my son's room) and I ended up hanging some of the shirts back up, just couldn't completely clean it out. The rest of everything around the house is as it was. One day.

Nathan: Blue is right you are making some progress, you're doing good just continue with your baby steps. Hugs! One thought, I hope your storage area isn't too warm or your candles might not make it,
