Loved Yard Work.

I have honestly never known anyone ever as eager to do yard work as Henry. He was so proud of his used Husqvarna lawnmower that he kept in tip-top condition. He gave me a couple of lessons how to use it. It was amusing, but I did it, and now I understand how important all of that was. He even took me to the blade sharpening place. Again I found it a rather amusing date but, in the past several weeks an epiphanous light bulb has gone off in my head like a bell ringing, and it is clear to me now that Henry was showing me how to live without him and I did not realize it at the time. Excuse me, I must go mow the lawn. Thanks, Henry, for taking time to show me.
Love,
Pam
