Then she was riding her Dad's bike and he has a pack on it to hold stuff. She started filling it up with all of the leaves she was grabbing as she rode along to surprise him.
Last night she grabbed one leaf and handed it to me and I peeled it down to the skinny stems just like Al did, I've tried this before but it hurt so much and I just cried, but this time I was talking to Keith and distracted and did it. . It was therapeutic. Then Cass opened Keith's pack to show him all the leaves she collected and it made him smile.
We were always surrounded by leaves because Al loved them so much, he leaves leaves for us on our cars, on our steps, or lets one fall at just the right time for us.
