"Sorry for your loss" - Part Two

`
In my last blog I wrote about how phony that sounds.

Recently my mother passed away and I got a card from the company I work for, signed by about a dozen coworkers, and at least half had written that.

And while I appreciate the card, it seems like they could have written something a bit more original.

Also, my dad died ten years ago, and I had forgotten that everyone has a "when my [insert relative here] died" story.

That's it. Short and sweet.
