things to sell
things to throw away


Things to keep
photographs
books
records
a flannel shirt I bought for him to wear this winter
he never wore it. It's new, unstained,
red and black checks bleak november black and red
I'll wear it and feel like he's with me
Things to give away
chutney and jam
we made together,
too much for one person to eat in a year
martini shaker
a flannel shirt that was too small
someone else can be warm this winter
Things to pass on
a leather jacket
books
comic books
a flannel shirt that maybe someone can cut up for a quilt
Things to sell
some tools
some furniture
some clothes
maybe some of those flannel shirts
Things to throw away
some shoes
orthotics -- nobody else can use them --
a flannel shirt too worn for use
the box his ashes came in
it feels like flannel

The box feels like flannel?

Yes, it does. It's made of some kind of recycled paper product which is thick, soft, and napped. It feels exactly like cotton flannel.

Almost like he was associated with flannel. It's hard to sort through and decide just with regular things, but it will be harder with his stuff. Can someone come help you?
