The million or so "firsts" after someone passes

I turned my work calendar to October this week.  I often put seasonal notes on my calendars that I carry over from year to year.  Check wrapping supplies in November; check Gopher Volleyball schedule in August.

 

On October 28th, I have a note to remind myself to mail Tante Irene’s birthday present to her so it would reach her by 11/11.

 

There will be no more birthday presents going overseas to her.

 

November is going to be a tough month.
