Another anniversary

I've been feeling sad for several weeks and just couldn't figure out why. And then I realized the anniversary of the death of Glen's mother, Barbara was coming up. Earlier this week I called his sister and later that evening received a call from my niece. So I talked with them and felt their sadness. Today, marks the one year anniversary of her death, and I realize her death symbolizes the death of Glen for me. When Barbara died, she took all the memories of his childhood with her. So a big part of his life is gone, unknowable to me. Yet another piece of my grieving - the lost chance to hear stories from his childhood.
