“My mother had been gone many more years than I’d known her,” @MargoRabb writes.
Celebrating her birthday felt wrong, like leaving out part of the story: Her death. My daughter told me it was her favorite day of the year. She named it Renée Day. wapo.st/3TqHO50
Thank you so much, @skirkwalsh!
"That lifting feeling was what I wanted on the 25th anniversary of my mother’s death: a sort of pilgrimage to her life." — @MargoRabb
Read this poignant essay by my friend, Margo Rabb. It's a gift in many ways for those who are grieving now and always. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

“I longed for my daughter to know her grandmother,” @MargoRabb writes in a guest opinion.
“I also wanted her to understand how much this anniversary meant to me. ... And so, I had decided that we would spend the whole day doing things my mom had loved.” wapo.st/47TZLgT

"My husband has sometimes commented on my patience as a mother," @MargoRabb writes @PostOpinions. "It isn’t patience, but a knowledge of tragedy. We’re not guaranteed days or moments like this; life doesn’t owe them to you." wapo.st/48gmpj5

Warning: This is a two-, maybe three-hanky emotional wallop of an essay—whether you read it or listen to the audio version (👈highly recommend!).
