It’s tough especially since as you all know my Aunt died the same day that McCain did and because of that, it will be impossible for me not to think of them together even though they were very different people though of course loved by their families and those who knew them well. I don’t mind being critical of someone who is in the spotlight dying but I don’t need it to be nothing but criticism and lack of sensitivity to the deceased. McCain was still Cindy’s husband, Meaghan and the others’ father, and a far better man than Trump.

the association the first couple of years is tough, and automatic. it does sort of fade

like if something bad happens on christmas or whatever

my dad died on my mom’s birthday
the first few years were very difficult
18 years later, the urgency, the immediacy and sort of obvious connection is gone
we dont forget to remember. nor does she. it’s just a bit softer now
