Bitter sweet as narayani says, anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas all a little daunting the first time, but we get through and smile at all the happy memories.
@narayani@chrisiow@korky my 'on this day' feature showed her in previous years: 2015 walking strongly into church; 2016, looking very much unsteadier and paler; 2017 in hospital - but I will remember this day for her
It sure is bittersweet. It is that time of year when both my parents birthdays and the days they both passed away a year ago and the year before are crunched together in the 2nd half of November, and I just had their anniversary in October, so I know exactly what you mean.
