We all have been spending time talking to eachother at times, especially mom, dad, Holly, and i. it's good, and healthy talking, sharing stories, memories, and pictures. my parents went over to Charlie's house today, Jenn and Mike are next door, and helped my mom and dad with some cleaning ,and organiing. they brought Charlie's cat Fudge some foods, and treats :) the guy who is upstairs, talked with my mom :) his name is Andrew, and he helped my brother,he said Charlie was like a dad to him over the past couple years. he's adopted Fudge and fudge has been doing well :) my mom and dad brought some more of Charlie's belongings here. some momentos, and rest of the bird feeders. Holly and i are gonna put Charlie's feeders around our yard, on tuesday. <3 my mom and dad, gave Charlie's washer/dryer to my sister Lisa, and her partner (who is named Charlie too) they didn't have a washer/dryer, and we know Charlie would want to help them. he was very kind, caring, and giving :) my mom brought me a jar of marbles Charlie collected, she wants me to have them. we're all handling everything as well as we can, it's emotional. these times are truly never easy, and are like a rollercoaster, and waves that are each different from day to day. my mom also brought a very nice pictures album home, which we're all gonna hold onto, of some very nice pictures of Charlie from over the years, that we will always treasure <3 We're having a BBQ on tuesday, in honor of Charlie on his birthday. The latest on his memorial/funeral, is that it's gonna be happening sometime the week after next. i will definitely keep everyone updated.
