Even though I am technically Jewish (by injection), I was unfamiliar with the word yahrzeit. We did wait a year to place her headstone, or very near to it. Because her 22nd birthday was so close to the death day, we chose to do it on her birthday. Maybe it is the Jewish influence that has me so fixated on anniversaries and birthdays as well. Or maybe it's human nature. We live here in time, everything's measured in time. I'm sorry you lost your brother so young.

I still sometimes wish in spite of myself that we all came in and went out in order!
