tomorrow is all souls'

[kaberett]

I will be travelling but I am taking my candles and I have made Seelkuchen.

I will, as ever, be glad to add your dead to my remembrance, and would be honoured if you shared their stories with me. <3

Thank you for the offer. I would ask you you to remember my uncle A who died just under a year ago, but that doing so would be against his wishes as I understand them. He was vehemently atheist and very strongly Did Not Get other people's sentimentality.

When I saw my father a fortnight ago, he was wearing A's striped jumper, the one he asked my father to take to the op shop to donate when he went into the nursing home. My father stole it and concealed this from A for the rest of his life, because A would not have been willing to give the jumper to his brother instead of the op shop. It's his favourite jumper now.
