May 29 is National Paper Clip Day. How do I know this piece of trivia? It’s a little thing I do each day to note some of the seemingly random national holidays to my coworkers. Today, I invite you to celebrate paper clips. I can’t help but think of Clippy offering help with a Word document. Were it so simple, little Clippy…
One of the elements of death we don’t discuss a lot is the paperwork; I call it administrania. I’m nearing the end of some of that paperwork. Yesterday morning and this evening, I’ve been gathering papers together, with paper clips, of course. There they are, holding it all together while I most certainly am not. I am grateful for Bryan’s organization and how easy it has been to find things. I’m also cursing needing to do any of this at all because it underscores the facts. He’s gone. I’m here.
Clippy, could you just do it? Guess not. Okay, I will.

It WOULD be nice if Clippy could do that kind of thing for us. This might be the second most crappy thing about death (the first, of course, being that the person isn’t with us anymore).
