On my birthday this year, I grieved for my dad terribly. He always used to call me and sing "Happy Birthday" to me on my birthday, and I was remembering that the last Christmas he was alive he did it, and while he was singing I knew it was the last time I would hear it (because we knew he was dying) and it hurt so much because there was no way I could hang on to it. I wept this year, missing his voice singing that song so much.
It does seem to hit harder on "milestone days" - like birthdays or new years or whatever - because we tend to have traditions tied in with those days, and that day rolls around and the person we share the tradition with isn't here and it's like a shock to the system. It hurts.
