When I was in Bama over the weekend, I received an envelope left for me from Allen's mom. It was some stuff leftover from his childhood. It was a really sweet gesture. I didn't know how to feel about it at first. By now I have exchanged a few emails with her to let her know that while I appreciate her generosity, I'm moving forward and these tokens from a time when I didn't know Allen, that he never wanted to talk about or share with me, aren't things I need. I was so glad she understood.
Today I set his cellphone back to it's factory settings. I copied off the photos and then directly deleted the whole sheebang so that I could use it. I broke the screen on my own phone and his was the same type phone from the same carrier so I took it in and had it activated for me. I thought I would feel something... something sad. I almost talked myself into it, but this just proves to me that I AM good. I'm going forward and it's awesome.
