Clothes

It's been four months now and yet it still is hard to give away Mike's clothes. I had done laundry the day before his passing so, with the exception of one shirt, his scent was gone from all of his clothes. I never did wash that shirt though. I can still detect a small scent of Mike on it to this day. I've cleared out a couple of his drawers in our dressers but most his clothes still remain and quite a few pairs of jeans still hang in the closet. I gave some old suits and quite a few pairs of jeans and button up shirts to the Goodwill somewhat reluctantly. There was this underlying feeling that he would come home and be upset that his clothes were gone. I know that that was ridiculous and it wasn't a conscious thought. I know with certainty that he would want me to move those things out and move on. Yet it's still hard to do so. Is that strange?
