There are six very large bags of Doug's clothes and shoes sitting in the back of Jim's car. Vanessa cleaned out Doug's room and these are the things she does not need or want to keep. She hung the Hawaiian shirts Doug loved so much in her closet. The rest of the stuff she put in boxes in the garage. Vanessa said she kept only the clothes that were really Doug- the Detroit Tigers jacket, the hockey jerseys, the Mark Twain t shirt. Maybe someday she will give them away but for now she wants to keep those remembrances of her Dad.
On Saturday morning we will take Doug's clothes to St Luke's to give to the homeless men that show up there every Saturday morning for a shower and a sack lunch. I know they will appreciate the clothes. I only wish they could have met the man that once wore them.
