Out Of The Blue

Checked private e-mail, found this mail-delivery-announcement.
21 years ago this date Dad left us.
Bro called today, he was so happy, I did not want to remind him of the upcoming date. 
 
Twenty-one years. And DHL sends me this.
Do you get such reminders, too? 
 
I once googled automatized stair-lifts for Mom - she left us 2011 - I still get ads on this. Hurts every time. 
 
DARN, F... cancer, you! 
 
 
To our lost loved ones.
Had this date in my mind when Bro called. Did not say anything cause he was so happy. And then this...
19th post of the month, too.

...I'm not good with dates. Both of my parents died within a few months of each other. But without looking I can't tell you when.

Oh. Is that good or bad? My Mom struggled 9 long years till she could follow.
And maybe it´s good to not always think of it already days before.

Reminder death notices? I never heard of such a thing and don't think it is necessary at all. I can remember my parents dates without that. Dad, 15 January 2000, Mum, 4 June 2004.

No, every time I see this date I think of him.
My Bro tends to forget.
Dad made me a ring for my 30th Birthday... long story, it reminds me of July 19th.
So it came a bit of a "shock".
So unfair. He met none of his Grandkids...
