I have lived in a few houses where my wife and i each had a walk-in closet,<\/p>\n
but here in my favorite house we share a closet.<\/p>\n
My wife died four months ago, so I no longer share a closet<\/p>\n
with her; but I still share one with her clothes.<\/p>\n
And the closet is still as stuffed as a fat man’s shorts.<\/p>\n
There are places where the hangers have to be tipped just to get the stuck between clothes.<\/p>\n
The floor is full of sprawled out dirty clothes whose basket has been set aside for lack of room.<\/p>\n
The closet is in the same shape as my brain; lots of remnants of Jean’s life with me–beautiful, irreplaceable, and fear producing items made with love.<\/p>\n
