22/03/2007 by David.
Yesterday was the sixth anniversary of the death of my younger son - Mark. Such anniversaries are inevitably painful, so we planned to go out and do something special.
The Parks Department had said it would try to revarnish his memorial bench by this date - but of course they are busy people - so Mark’s bench in the town’s Ashcombe Park was still looking a bit sad.
Nevertheless we did have a different day, and we came to terms with Greek restaurants, enjoying a meal in a restaurant not owned by the fellow who persuaded Mark to invest the proceeds of his house sale… That is a step in the right direction. Coming to terms with the evidence in the community of that particular fellow’s businesses.
We had a card from our Church, and flowers from several people. The day was not as awful as we had anticipated - and for that we thank God.
Memory can be cruel - but some things must be remembered. Easter approaches.
