The only good is that you can make sure to remember the happy times. It is both the anniversary of a loss, and a day of remembering a life. I am coming up on the 1st year anniversary of my husbands passing in June.

You'll always feel the grief, but remember the happy times.

Just defy the odds. Just saying, your mother's car was on the road when you were and you noticed it....

Don't be mad at hubby. Let it go. I'm horrible myself about remembering some date, then forgetting it. One gets so caught up in all the small stuff. He let you know early that he remembered, so that counts for something! Happy anniversary!❤

Give that guy a hug.

Peace and love to both of you.

I'm sure he regrets forgetting it (or will), and it will all work out.

Sending kind thoughts as you miss your mother. The loss of your mom can be like a gut punch and the intensity can ebb and then sneak back and lay you low.

My mother passed away about 7 months ago. Her birthday would have been the 21st. She would have been 87 years old yesterday. But she was ready to go and now she is no longer in pain. She would say to me,"But Hon, I have to die of something." So, those things kept me from being too sad.

Just remember that forgetting an anniversary is not a big deal to some of us. Several years in a row, when my wife (of 37 years) was alive and well, we forgot our anniversary together. We both realized it 5 days later and celebrated then. We were so in tune with each other we even forgot the same things at the same time. I'm sure you and your husband have little quirks like that in your marriage. So, enjoy the relationship while you can. Everything in life is just too damn temporary.
