I understand your point, believe me.  My mother passed away 10 years 
ago and I don't telephone people on the annversary of her death.  As 
I stated in another post, I'm not saying Harry has to go around 
saying, "Woe is me, today is the anniversary of my parents' deaths."  
I guess I think it would be helpful to those children who have lost 
parents or close loved ones to see Harry expressly acknowledging the 
day his parents died, on that day.  Not that he doesn't do it other 
times.
