As I itemize our life for flood insurance contents purposes I come across things that make me smile.
I come across things that make me cry.
I come across things that make me think, "why do we still have that?"
Today it was these shirts.
I have a specific memories of Jake in each of these shirts.
The 58 shirt I bought for him with carpenter pants when we were dating.
The play station shirt from his friend Kenny from before we were dating.
The Hogi Yogi shirt from the days he would make me the best Philly cheese-steak sandwiches in the world.
The guns shirt that I bought him because I thought it was perfect for my big strong man whose arms I have loved since we were dating.
Life goes on and stuff is just stuff, but memory lane has a funny way of bringing up memories you forgot to remember.
In this picture he is wearing that Hogi Yogi shirt, the first time I saw snow fall.
Stuff is more than just stuff.
It represents so much more.
I know it's easy to say, "but what's important is ok, you and your family members are ok"
Sure, that's definitely true, but that stuff has so much attached to it that it's ok for it to be more than
"just stuff" sometimes.
