I didn't realize this would be so hard - the clothes have gone to a good home. I was very emotional, watching them go down the driveway. I know I did the right thing, but it really hurts.
Thanks for the kind words about my decision. I value all your support.

May God give you strength for the day. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Let yourself grieve. You know you did the right thing. But that doesn't make it easy to do.
I understand,it hurts to let a part of you go.Hugs and Prayers.
I can understand that it would be hard. On one hand, such a statement of finality. On the other, a gift of life.
You are a very brave, honest, and compassionate person. I feel honored to know you - even if it is only through cyberspace.
Hugs to you.
Dear Rebecca,
I know how grateful the pepole must be, despite how difficult it was.
I am glad you got away and took the time to grieve, despite that I am sure there is a lot more to do.
Please email me privately as I have something for you and need your address.
I know Mark will always be looking after you as you did him. My heart aches for you and know you have friends nearby.
I am just so sorry I couldn't get there before Mark left us.
I am alwaya awake late, so call if yu need a shoulder.
Love,
Joan

What you have modestly avoided saying is that the clothes went to a family who had a fire at Christmas and needed everything.
As hard as it must have been to gather everything together and give it away, your gift is undoubtedly very much appreciated by the people who have received it.
Even now, you and Mark continue to leave behind a wake of kindness every day.
Ah, that'll teach me to read all your posts first. You did mention the Christmas fire yesterday. The rest is all still true, though.
And yes, it was a terrible struggle having to take care of the critters, but somehow they survived it and I think I've finally cleaned all the slobber from behind my ears.
Seriously, I enjoyed the hell out of them, and I'll gladly take care of them any time you like, whether you feed me or not. I'd forgotten what it's like to be greeted with joy when I walk in the door.
{{{HUGS}}} Rebecca. You did a wonderful thing. I am praying for you.
