feel like a terrible daughter
My dad's anniversary was last Thursday the 14th and I remembered the week before and earlier in the week but totally forgot on that day. I went out with my girlfriends for a night out and had a fabulous time. I just left work and said the date, and started crying that I forgot. I can't believe it..he has been gone for 12 years and usually not a day goes by where I don't think of him but I forgot and feel awful.
Re: feel like a terrible daughter
I've had years like that. I'll remember for weeks leading up to one of the special days (his birthday, my parents' anniversary, or the anniversary of his death) and then on the day of, it isn't on the forefront of my mind. Life gets in the way.
But, I still have those dates on my calendar, and set it so that I get a reminder a couple days before. That way I can call my mom and let her know that I'm thinking about her on the days that still hold so much importance for her too. It's been 20 years since my father passed away, and like you, not a day goes by that I don't think of him and miss him.
It doesn't make you a terrible daughter for living your life in the present rather than focusing on the past on an anniversary. Everyday is a special day when you've got your memories and live your life to honor your father's legacy.
