How do you deal with the anniversary? Does anybody really know? There are little things that Frank used to do and I see them everyday.The other day I watched the All Star Game and it was the last game to be played at Yankee Stadium--(the old Yankee Stadium)>it brought tears to my eyes and I still have the newspaper clipping.But how do you handle the anniversary? Well,it is a new anniversary..we usually go to the gravesite and plant flowers and after that we have a mass.The rest of the day is up to you.But on the aniversary..it is important to talk about the deceased and you must in order to feel better.My mother is the one who suffered after the death of my father and I will tell you why.The ladies in the club stopped inviting her over and excluded out of the activites.This is typical behaviour..but my mother did not do anything wrong.So many people today are avoiding the widows? Why? Do you in New York when a mans wife does pass on..he gets married within 6 or 7 months later? Why this behaviour? Especally on the anniversary! I intend to get up and cry over his picture and then I will sing his favorite song.In 1952..there was a young singer named Johnny Ray.The song was called The Little White Cloud that Cried..I have the sheet music and had it for some time and this is how I feel.When you can..sing and you will feel better.The Irish nuns always had this proverb that they would say The Proverb says..He who sings,Prays Twice! Remember it ! And sing and remember all of the happy times and then after this..go to a nice restaurant and have a nice slice of Franks favorite dessert..apple pie with strawberry ice cream and all of us will feel better.Got to go.I came home late andI have to clean up.The place is a mess the cats were playing and I cant leave it to be a mess because Brad will have a fit.Meow!
