[quote=Anonymous]Help me DCUM - minor etiquette issue. I have a really lovely elderly relative who is pretty much the only living member of her generation left in my family. She's mid 80s. I'm in my 30s and lost both my parents (my mom was her niece) within the last 5 years. She sent me a really sweet email this morning going on and on about my dad, what a great man he was, how proud he'd be of me, etc - just so genuinely heartfelt - and it was clear she thought today was the anniversary of his death. Except she's a month early. So do I tell her? DH said to mention it next time I see her, but I want to respond to the email and it feels odd not to mention it, especially if she realizes it on her own later. What would you do?[/quote]
