Towels and Toothbrushes

10/12/15
We have hung both of our towels on the same rack for years now. A few days after he passed away I took the towel he had been using and put it in the laundry. There was now more room for my towel and it would be able to dry faster that way. I'll wash the towel, put it back in the drawer, and use it some other time. Simple. Done.
A couple of days later, I noticed his toothbrush. Hmm...that will never get used again...I guess I could throw it away. Sounds logical, right? Nope. Didn't happen. I couldn't do it. A toothbrush? I'm sure he was rolling his eyes. I haven't been able to do it since then either. So...his toothbrush will stay right where it is until I'm up for tossing it. It might gather a bit of dust - but, whatever.
It's odd how things seem unpredictable. Logic says one things and the heart says another. I guess that's the way it has been for centuries. I just didn't know how much it included simple household objects like towels and toothbrushes.
