Not much to say. I went to say goodbye, drove five hours to get there on Wednesday and five hours back to get home yesterday. This afternoon she passed away. I'll be driving back on Monday. These two songs will be on frequent repeat.
Fleetwood Mac - Landslide
and
CCR - Long As I Can See The Light
You have my condolences. Grief is never an easy thing...but closure is always good to have to say goodbye.
ReplyDeleteIt happened so fast, from diagnosis to death was five months. I was there in the end, yet there's still a sense of unrealness to it all.
DeleteThinking of you, Melanie, take care.

Thank you.
DeleteTake care. Nothing I could say, all would sound banal or silly. Return safe.
ReplyDeleteNot true, everyone know the Germans have a word for everything. This may be made-up word, but I like it anyway: Plauschplage (Prattle plague) The pressure to make bantering small talk with people your forced to interact with. I had to do a lot of this. It was exhausting.
DeleteAs a dear friend of mine used to say, 'Peace and love'.
ReplyDeleteAre you your own dear friend? I doubt I'll know true peace until my own death, but I do appreciate the love nonetheless.
