I sent out invitations for my sister's baby shower on Saturday. This afternoon I was washing dishes and suddenly I thought, "OH NO! I forgot to send one to Grammy!" I turned to dry my hands and then this deep, cold feeling hit me in my stomach because, for a second, I'd forgotten that my grandma has been gone for 7 years. She only knew Ellie as a baby. She never met Charlie. What a cruel trick the mind can play on you. I miss her so much.
I hate that! I was half asleep the other day and thought I heard my grandfather's door opening to the in-law apartment he lived in when I was growing up. I was sad to wake up and realize I was 34, in a different house and he was dead.

I'm so sorry. I do this when I have invitations to send out and I'm making a list. I always feel like I'm missing someone until I realize I'm missing MIL and she's not here anymore.
I'm so sorry. I almost emailed my sister recently to tell her we forgot to include our Aunt on the invitation list for my baby shower, just to remember she passed away at the end of June. It just hits you like a ton of bricks. Hugs.
After my MIL died, I spent about 10 years seeing little old lady clothes at Macy's and thinking I should buy them for her birthday, etc. She was a teeny thing who had a mild Alfred Dunner addiction- I'd see a set of matchy-matchy pull on pants, pleated skirt, printed turtleneck and themed sweater and then remember she wasn't in need of such things anymore.
