I forgot

I was looking for something in one of the two spare bedroom closets and as I scurried through your t-shirts, your jerseys, your sweatshirts and your dress pants, dress shirts… each had a memory to share in the swipe of my arm and my eyes… I miss you!  Just like my daily living… a file cabinet in my mind that checks out one memory and then another as I drift throughout my day; you never leave me!  You are a part of me.  You held a space here that still exists! In our spare closet, in pictures in our front entry way, in voicemail messages, in who we are each day, in who we want to be… you still exist!  We still miss you!  Take care, my Sam!  You loved beyond measure and that is how you are loved… still today!
