Virginia is for lovers

This is my husband’s first #griefheart donation. He saw it while walking the dog in the neighborhood. This one resonates because Charles loved Richmond, Virginia.

When we had to send him away for therapeutic boarding school, he was homesick. He wanted to come home to Richmond.

When we sent him to camp, he was homesick. His letters from camp read, “Dear Mom, I hate it here.”

He loved day camp. In Richmond.

Where did he want to go to college? VCU in Richmond, VA.

He used to say, “I love Richmond. I never want to leave.”

What is the #griefheart project?

I explain my #griefheart project here.

See all #griefhearts so far on pinterest or on this blog by #griefheart category.
