My cousin John, also a Scorpio, died suddenly last July. His birthday would have been celebrated this week. So several days ago I received a "pop up" reminder from F-book to wish John a happy birthday and perhaps send him a gift. Now I realize that there are millions of friends out there busy friending each other and the F-book founders are pre-occupied with the price of their stock, so no one has time to read the daily obituaries. All the same, it is a bit of a jolt for families working thru their grief to receive such reminders months after the death of a loved one. Can't quite bring myself to defriend the dead. Just a thought.
