When I was 6 years old, my mom had to be away for a while for graduate studies at UP. That was the first time a parent was away for more than a week or so (I see my dad on weekends lang, but that's another story.)Anticipating the distress on a child being away from his mother for such a long time, well-meaning relatives gave but one big suggestion: that my mom wrap her used clothing on my pillows, so I may sleep with her familiar scent around me. It probably worked, got me thru the whole experience.
I find myself doing the same thing to get by when missing Broody. Of course nowadays technology makes it easier to be connected, but the familiar scent on the pillows and the sweater he so loved to use when seeing movies at Greenbelt helps get me thru the days we're apart (which, to begin with, isn't too much, but hey allow me for being a baby at this for once).
As I've said, I'm big on coping mechanisms - there used to be the moping album, the aimless driving, the ONS, even the drastic haircut and the flavors of the month - now I have used clothing to cope with missing the One I love very very badly.
Oh and about the ring? It's a status band. Yep, Mopey is taken.
