Well with the one year anniversery of Warren’s death approaching in a couple of weeks (27 Oct) I was thinking about how I wanted to mark the day. Very early this morning it occured to me to post this idea on the blog and see what the family was thinking of doing. Now Warren loved rituals. I think about the paper hats at chistmas, playing pit, even a lot of his little sayings and decided that I need to come up with a ritual to mark his death. Now some of the ideas I have had are :
1. Sit and watch 12 hours of sport on TV while drinking rye and ginger ale
2. Go gold panning (he never found much but then neither do I)
3. Have dinner at the “Honest lawyer” which was a pub he loved.
4. Fuss over my taxes.
So tell me .. what are you going to do? Any suggestions of rituals? Nothing too silly to be considered.
I know your time here last year went by really fast, but not that fast. It was the 27th; you have a bit more time now to plan a suitable remembrance. For you, I think a visit to the Honest Lawyer would be perfect, and raise a glass (!) in his memory.
Good Point Mom … for some reason I have been thing 18 October all year. I was nver very good with dates.
I hadn’t really thought about it. I know I wanted to do something, but I don’t know what. I’ll post any ideas I have…
Funny, I was thinking about that a few days ago. Think, I’ll take the hammer out and chip a little rock…among my fondest memories of him when we were younger was tramping around and chipping chunks off bigger rocks, then looking at them.
Think I’ll do that…then have a rye and ginger.
