Memory, Loss, and Single Days

There are many who look to this day and talk about how they dislike the tone of it, how they find the manner of its observance to be too much to take. They speak to things like wanting to celebrate Trans Diversity and the sheer awesomeness of being who we are, and how we are, and the depths of knoweldge that we all carry within us, no matter how much we disagree over stupid little bull->-bleeped-<- and our own insecurites otherwise.

To which I will note that there is such a day.  It is held in Spring, a time of rebirth.  You can look it up.

This is not about that day, though.  This is about this day.  This one day, each year.

For many of us, these losses are personal.  These losses are close to home.  For many of us, these losses are not something we see or thnk or feel or know about once a year, but are something we carry with us every day for the rest of our lives.
