Am I too sentimental?


I say NO!!!


Iren did so many wonderful things when here, and each one of them meant the world to me, and yes, some were very small.. but, I love the little things in life...

Here are some examples, I took pictures of them, as they are exactly as they have been since she left.

imuvmi


  1. The last thing Irena ironed for me was this handkerchief. I stored it in my drawer behind the tshirts I wear and it has not moved literally since the day she left. So, I see this all the time, and it instantly takes me back to watching her iron.. I miss that!
  2. Atop the bookshelf are some things that she set up, here it shows a picture my daughter painted when she was tiny, the tin can that held my sewing material (it was my grandmothers), in the back middle a wreath that my daughter made for me many years ago, to the left of that, a small wooden sailboat my ex father-in-law made for my son Miles.. and in the front left, a car that Irena's brother gave to me one year for Christmas...

    I dust them of course, but will not move them.
  3. bowls
    the last thing Irean ever bought me (to date) are these two green bowls she gave me when I saw her just after new years day... I love them so much and I will not use them as I am too afraid to break them.

  4. caps
    look here, inside one of my favorite bowls are some old iced tea caps she was more than likely going to recycle..
  5. paper towels and oil
    this one may seem crazy.. on the counter in the kitchen is a roll of paper towels and some oil. She put them there. I have not used the oil or the towels and they are just as she left them.
  6. fish with the dish
    There is a display cabinet for the dishes.. here are the fish she put in them.. they were a gift from Miles
  7. how the cups and bowls are family
    The cups and bowls are in the same exact spot she designed them as in that same cabinet where the fish swim

Hi

Dear Irena, I try not to write to you so much here anymore, its honestly still very hurtful for me. But, it doesn't mean you are far from my thoughts. I always think about time being a great healer, but I think when sometimes a piece of ones heart is gone, that piece just cannot grow back. I sent you an email some months back asking how you and the dogs are but you never replied. I suppose that was a subtle way of you telling me to not bother you again. So, I am afraid to write you more. There is a woman here in Basel who I am going to do some work with in regards to starting a food business. Anyway, she had a miscarriage last week. It took me back to the time when you were pregnant the first time and you bought the pregnant pants. I will tell you Iren, its like yesterday for me, and it makes me just as sad now as it did then when you lost the baby. I keep learning every day about myself and new ways of being to better myself and my life. To live a better life, more loving, ...

Dear Iren I hope you are well... its been a long time and that same time passes very fast I think... I know you have moved on with your life and may not even remember how to spell my name.. but, you are still a part of my life for sure in so many ways... I have learned to stop saying "I wish" this or that in regards to you.. but I never stop living in the space of being open. You are, and its very clear to me now more than ever, a very special woman and I always felt it from the first weeks we spent hours talking on the phone. I just want to wish you a beautiful holiday season.. I miss you, always Love Dave

HI

Dear Iren I hope you are having a nice day.... really, I do... This week, it has been a whirlwind of emotions for me. When you told me last sunday that you got married, I felt like someone took the feet out from under me, and then stepped on top of me. I couldn't breathe, I couldn't think straight, and I just couldn't imagine how this could even be real. But... it is... When we wrote back and forth those many emails, it felt amazing because we were communicating, and at the same time, it hurt more than ever. The way we talked, were open, honest, and genuine, it really meant the world to me. Really!! The sad part was, I kept checking my phone, looking at my messages to see if I would hear from you again. And when they didn't come I was sad and when they did, I was worried that you were going to just tell me to get lost.   I am very proud of my being a lot stronger now though. I know that all of the changes I have made in my life are what have led me to this pl...
