details

He's talking here and there about the practical details of what will happen this year. He asked about this, he found out about that. Practical technical stuff.

I'm not surprised that these are the conversations and comments that he's coming out with. He is fundamentally a practical person. I tried to raise the more emotional side but he didn't want  to talk about it.  I have no problem with that, as long as he knows I'm here when he does want to talk, if he wants to talk.

Just as an aside I looked at some photos of my father in law that my sister in laws husband sent me. I asked my husband if he wanted to see them and get one printed out, he said he didn't want to look at them now. I looked at them and found it very difficult. I found it hard to comprehend that he is no longer with us, it's going to take some time for it to become a reality in my life.

 I think I understand why my husband didn't want to look at them yet.
