Anniversary Redux

Friday was another anniversary of sorts.

My father passed away the day after Thanksgiving last year, and in some ways that seems a more meaningful reference than the 23rd of November, the actual date.

Associating my dad with Thanksgiving just feels right. Its themes—cherishing family and counting one's blessings (not to mention food and football)—were the themes of his life. He kept things simple and knew how to be happy.

It's hard to do better than that in this world.
