Remembering (Day 45)

November 1st was never my favorite day. In Slovenia on this day, we, like many other countries, remember the loved ones we lost. The ones our baby boy will only hear stories about and look at some old photographs.
This year however we haven’t gone to any of the graveyards because it isn’t possible. We have a small child that needs to be warm and fed. And sometimes, the processions of visiting graves can take quite some time.
Anyhow, I do agree with people who say that remembrance should happen any day of the year and no, it isn’t important that the graves of your loved ones you care for are award-winning in appearance. Also, the candles people bring in tons to these processions are just plain waste and ecologically illogical.
I also pretty much suck at giving condolences if someone dies. I know death is something unavoidable, but still, I like it more when I get to be happy for the person I know.
Well, this is not a topic related to motherhood or parenting but still, today I thought about it. We spent the day together, enjoying a day off, living a life I couldn’t have imagined before.
Motherhood in numbers:
- shower: one
- teeth washed: twice
- afternoon sleep: two hours
