Yeah, me too. I do what I can to avoid referring to it at all to my Dad. He
was married to my mother for 43 years and losing her really ripped him up
inside.

It's always something of an unpleasant surprise when I open the comics on
mother's day, too. I almost always forget it's happening or which day it
is.
