Why do people diminish birthdays after someone dies?
I will ask my mother what she thinks about this when I visit her on her 106th birthday, today, August 19. It will always be the date she was born, even though she has been gone six years. She will probably agree with me but ask me why it bothers me. “Thanks for keeping my history intact,” I can imagine her saying with a little laugh that conceals whether it’s sarcasm or how she really feels.“Do you want to know where today’s stone is from?” I will ask as I follow Jewish tradition by placing a stone on her grave to show that I visited.
