I don't keep the dates of things like that in the front of my mind. I had an ex who would get really depressed every single year on the date his dad died, even years after the fact. He couldn't do anything when he knew the date was approaching. It just seems a weird thing to me to dwell so much on it.

@Kuronekko I agree. Death, sadly, is a part of life. I like to focus on the amazing times I had with that person.

@Benjr134 Exactly. I wouldn't want my loved ones behaving like that over me when I'm gone. If you must remember the date, remember it with good times.
