It was 4 years yesterday that my Dad died - we were very close (my mother died when I was 16), he died very suddenly so there was no time for goodbyes, I really miss him and the date was a big deal for me. It's probably rawer at the moment as we're getting married very soon and all I can think about is that DF won't be there. Anyway, DP forgot - he's working away, rang yesterday and said "You seem a bit low - what's up?" and I exploded at him. I know it's just one date out of 365 to him, I know he feels like shit and has since apologised many many times but I just can't get my head around the fact he forgot. I feel like I'm about to marry someone who thinks about me so seldom that he can't remember a really important date - and I know I'm probably over-reacting and I need to just move on but how do I get past this?

Some people aren't great at remembering dates. I lost my beautiful brother 4 years ago, I loved him very much and miss him every day but I don't remember the date he died on.
