You know we all do what we have to so we can cope. Doug takes several medications daily for his blood pressure and cholesterol. When he left his pill bottles went with him. It is just another one of those reminders that he is gone, because his side of the vanity is empty. I mean he took a new toothbrush and left his old one behind, but those amber bottles were missing and for me it was a sad reminder that he had left again.
So I did the only logical thing (insert laughter), I put some old pill bottles on his side of the vanity.
Well I decided today, it is time to put the bottles away.
I am settling into a "normal" existence with Doug gone for the next year. It becomes okay after a week or so, you just get use to things like, no pill bottles or less laundry and cooking for two, not three.
I do not get use falling asleep or waking up without Doug, but I just deal.
You fall back into your same routine of laundry, dinner, school, friends and whatever you do day to day. I just adjust to the communication being over a video or IM chat. After all, Doug is just as funny via electronic communication as he is in person!
Knowing me I will still sleep in his t-shirts and run around in his basketball shorts at night, but I can safely put the bottles away!
I miss you Doyle!
