I got this email from his wife:


Barry, Before my husband died 5 or 7 weeks ago we asked Hit entertaminet if we could have someone dress up in a Barney costume and go to the Sesame Street Musem. When we were at the Sesame Street Musem, Barney came and gave big bird a hug. They performed a show and we got Pictures of Barney and Big Bird. We also got a picture of him and the Sesame Street Muppets and Barney altogether. So my Husband had his dream.

I've refrained from commenting on this thread as it brought back sad memories of when my own boyfriend/fiance died 5 years ago this Christmas eve. It is a sad thing to lose someone you love, especially if they are young.

I just couldn't help but notice the way her message was worded. '5 to 7 weeks ago' that jumped out at me. Don't you think she would remember when he died? I could quote the exact day, and time mine died. I guess grief does tend to mess with the memory. I'm glad his dream came true, I wish he could have seen it. I was a Barney fan when my kids were younger, (lol - so long ago) and my condolences are with his wife.

That 5 to 7 thing is really, really odd. 5 or 7, rather.

Anyway.

Anything that happens around the holidays is so much more acute. My father walked out the door on New Year's Eve morning and never came home; he was killed in an accident, when I was 13. The pocketwatch I had given him for that very Christmas was in his pocket and returned to me that day by the police, along with his other effects. One of my favorite nephews, whose birthday was Christmas Day, died several years ago on December 15, also in an accident. Too, people seem to break up with each other more during the holidays, which just seems incredibly low to me. *sigh* (Can't they wait for a more neutral time?)

 

[Whatever]

Aaaawww. The worst that's ever happened to me on the holidays was illness.
All of last year's Christmas pics show me resting my head against the chair I was sitting in because I was too sick to hold it up on my own! Plus Mom and I were in the hospital for Thanksgiving in 1984. But that is really insignificant in comparison.

That 5 - 7 week thing is understandable because it can get confusing with dates and times, when you are upset you might just forget how long ago it was. When we were overseas last month it totally messed with our minds and body clocks with all the different time zones, I didnt even know what day it was some of the time.

Also, Christmas is a great time for most people but it is also known as the worst time of the year to some as if they are on their own it brings all kind of depression.

My condolances are with the family.

It's very easy to lose track of time in hard times.

I'm the same way. When people call my dad's office asking for him I always have to tell them he died June 1st this year. My sister isn't though. She doesn't remember dates, numbers, length of time, etc. I think everyone is different that way.

Someone mentioned to us Thanksgiving would probably be particularly hard because Grandma died Nov. 21st last year, but my sis said no. She doesn't remember things like that. Dad died 3 days before her birthday, but she claims she doesn't remember that kind of thing either. :shrugs: That's the stuff I can't forget.

Thanksgiving at Gramma's house without Gramma, cleaning the place out isn't something you forget too quickly. Neither is hauling dad's stuff out of his 3rd floor walk-up in the middle of summer with sweat running in streams down your back. I guess numbers just aren't as important to some people. Dunno...
