I've filled suitcases for many trips we've taken over our grasshopper years. Packing is the strangest thing. I'm putting stuff into a duffle bag and a box, and everything has his name written in permanent marker. Permanent marker.
I find myself thinking should he take this? Maybe I should keep this shirt at home ... why? Why? In case of what?
If we were divorcing, I could throw his stuff out in the yard.
If he were dead, I could give it all away.
Packing is the strangest thing.
Surprise (come along for the ride)!!
