Do you ever forget people are dead?

I was just getting set to make some coffee, eggs, and bacon. I picked up the phone to chat while cooking, even though I’m not a big phone person. Mostly use it to talk to family. And I started to dial my grandmother’s phone number. Only she has been dead for like five years now and the number I was starting to callhasn’t been hers in a lot longer than that. Guess I really really needed that iced latte.

I remember the Fathers Day after my father’s father died, he started to shop for a gift in a window and then remembered his dad was dead.
