Today is my mother in law's birthday that she refuses to celebrate. She has a twin sister who passed away last year while Jack and I were in California. She was very adament that she did not want to recognize her birthday this year. We abliged. This was her Facebook status from earlier.

They were so very close, and her passing has devastated her. We offered to stop by today just for the heck of it, but she asked us to stay home.
