I'm thinking about planting something it them and moving them outside next summer but I'm not sure I'm ready for that yet. I know I don't want anyone else to ever wear them.<br /><br />I'm now at 21 months out from Don's passing.Misadventures of Widowhoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17262709452281226620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-10908657321888244552013-06-29T17:15:12.307-04:002013-06-29T17:15:12.307-04:00I still have a pair of my husband's cowboy boo...I still have a pair of my husband's cowboy boots. He loved those boots and they've been sitting by our front door since Don had his stroke 12 years before his stroke. I'll never throw them out.

I did keep his sneakers by the front door for many months however--until one day my neighbor came in, looked down and said, "Are you expecting Fred to come get his shoes?" Then it just seemed silly of me to have them there, but....I still have them, 18 months later--in the closet.Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399435237919718544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990351249805345004.post-15235178241137067422013-01-10T21:02:24.825-05:002013-01-10T21:02:24.825-05:00Thank you.
