I finished dear papa hubby's corner today- dusted and cleaned -sorted and tossed- kept and gave--it is nice to be done- this was his corner and I did not go there.........
it was his little corner of his world- and he kept it as he wanted.....
I think everyone should have a little special part of the home that is just their space -he cleaned out every Christmas day-
but in 2007 he was already in the hospital and had no strength to do it when he came home 51 days later and in 2008 he was gone with the angels-
so it was memories covered in dust
I fixed the top shelf in memory of him and some of his special things - and then his keeper books are the second-
and now I will just use the other shelves for this and that of his and mine-
Miss Ashley says that it looks nice and papa would have approved- this was the hardest area because it was so personal-
as Ashley said'' he has lots of corners in heaven and has no need of a personal space here now-and because he was such a social fellow I sure he is busy singing with the angels -
I feel much better- being all done.......and we (the gal and I) both decided that we will dust it every Christmas day as a memory of tradition-

how sweet of you to do that and keep a special place just to remember him. I'm sure he's smiling down from Heaven on you.
This is my first visit to your very special blog. Having unexpectedly lost my husband two months ago, it is comforting to read your thoughts.

Miss Ashley is right; he has all the corners he needs in Heaven and he would approve of what you have accomplished here on Earth. Hope you have a peaceful weekend.
I just loved this post today! I could feel your heart as you moved things, dusted, etc. And I, too, am sure he would have approved of your tender way of doing a belated cleaning for him! Heaven!!!!! What a thought that someday we will all have a place there to tend to!

What a beautiful tribute. And yes I am sure he would approve and is smiling.
How I love reading your blog. I have been away on a trip and just returned. Tonight I have been reading through several of your past posts. I think that you are not only a missionary to your Miss Ashley.... but to the world. Your insight and faith are inspiring to all you might read them.... and I am sure that many are reading them that you are not even aware of.
I can imagine how hard it was to clean up David's corner. I am glad that it is done and you can look at it and smile at the accomplishment. Good for you. One step at a time you are getting through this journey. Thank you for taking us along with you.
How I wish that I could meet you. I have come to love you through your writings. You touch my heart more than you can know.
May God continue to bless you as you go forward... one step at a time. (((hugs))) Lura
