30 Days of Cory- #10
Remembering Cory today started with a conversation with Tim. He told me he got February 23rd off from work to be with me on Cory's birthday, and thought we should do something to honor her. I was surprised to hear this, but pleased. His suggestion was to go to a favorite restaurant of hers with Jake, and have a birthday dinner.
This seems like a perfectly reasonable, and lovely idea. Naturally, I feel completely opposed to the idea. While he planned his surf and turf order out loud, I inwardly recoiled. Would this become just another dinner out without her, where the boys had a great time and I couldn't swallow? Do I really want to make such a public recognition of her absence?
Somewhere, my closest friends roll their eyes. Yes, I am that difficult. Yes, I get that it is a nice idea from Tim, who wouldn't even talk about Cory three months ago, let alone try to plan a freaking ritual to honor her life. So what is my problem? What?
Don't slap me. I don't want her to be dead.
