Poll: Anniversary related
Re: Poll: Anniversary related
It is kind of random--sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Later this month, L and I will celebrate six years and as the time has gone by, the well wishes have subsided somewhat. The pastor who married us is a longtime family friend of L's (and married L's parents). He and his wife always call to wish us a happy anniversary.
Incidentally, today is my parent's 31st anniversary. I called my mom last night and forgot to mention it. Drat!
Is that weird? My best friend's dad died a few years ago, and I wanted to do something for her to let her know that I won't ever forget her dad. But I don't want it to be weird. I was thinking of doing it on the anniversary of his death because I remember that date, and I don't know what his birthday was. Do you have any advice?
I am sorry for the loss of your mother.
Mine too.
Coming from her, yes it is weird. She tries really hard to replace her (IMO) and even though I have told her I would rather not talk about it (with her) she insists on bringing it up and reminding me. I can't really stand my MIL though, so my feelings for her really could be clouding up a nice gesture. I really don't know but it irks me.
From a friend, I would appreciate the sentiment. I think sending a card to your friend would be a nice gesture, as long as you make it more of a "thinking about you" and not a "bring up the death and dwell" kinda thing. KWIM?
