Keep memories of loved ones alive
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
My father died on Feb.1, five years ago.
And every year, on that date, my brother and I try to pay tribute to him in a different way.
In the past, we’ve gone to restaurants that served some of his favorite foods or imbibed in his favorite dessert - basically anything with lots of sugar.
And this year, we contacted an old friend of his who had plenty of funny stories to share - stories and events my brother and I never knew about.
Since my father was a game show writer for Let’s Make A Deal, they were show business-related and very entertaining.
Listening to those little vignettes, from someone else’s perspective, brings nothing but joy and lots of laughter.
These yearly rituals are a wonderful way of keeping the memories alive and warming the heart.
So I was just curious. Do any of you engage in any activity or event to commemorate a lost loved one?
If you don’t, what kind of activity or event would you consider doing for someone?
