I have a special pocket for Mr. Ralph. He's always with me when I need him. I feel him with me when I'm at his favorite places.... or doing his favorite things. Sometimes I crave one of his wacky treats (which I normally do NOT eat)(donuts or ice cream!).
Today I walked to the Farmer's Market. For the first time, I didn't cry or get teary eyed. That was one of his favorite things to do. So I just enjoyed it for him. Without succumbing to getting a fresh made donut. In the past, if parking was an issue, I would jump out of the car, stand in line for donuts, then he would pick me up.
Memories. Maybe I'm not so lonely after all.
The farmer's market was hard for me that first summer, too. I know exactly what you mean about the memories coming. Now, I want a donut!
ReplyDeleteI'd share a donut with you!
