The death of a day.

Saturday Jan 19th, 2013
6:30am-2:30pm
19th, 8 hours old, passed away at 2:30pm in the kitchen.  19th was born to Rare Surplus Time and Fully-Accomplished Lists, but sadly didn't see the fulfillment of the dreams of her parents.  19th was a happy child in the early hours.  She saw yoga, a trip to the temple and the grocery store.  She even saw a calendar and lists around 12:30.  Her potential was far greater than any other Saturday that came before her in the last 13 years.  Tragically she suffered a fatal blow just before 2:30pm with a deadly conversation.  All parties were at fault and couldn't stay calm enough to stop the pernicious exchange. Once drive and ambition were drained from 19th's critical minutes, she didn't have enough strength to survive.  There was a ray of hope around 6:45pm when we saw some color in 10 minutes, but it was not to last.  We are deeply saddened by our loss.  The potential of her life would have had far-reaching consequences into the garage, the laundry room, the honey-do list and the children's closets.  We will never be the same without her.
19th was preceded in death by Dec 15th and Aug 28th.   She is survived by Jan 21st and Feb 2nd.  A memorial service will be held tonight at 11:13pm by the bedside.  Come on your knees.  In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you send any free time you have to the schedule listed below. We hope that what we have learned today will prevent the senseless death of beautiful days in the future.
