See you soon

I caught a snippet of the song Albatross. Immediately it took me back to my garns funeral. Not so much the actual service but afterwards. I was stood in this huge field with hundreds of tombstones. It was a grey day, predictably. It was completely surreal. Was I actually experiencing this? It was sad and there was a lot of heavy feeling, but as this song played I was reminded of a million different feelings. One of the worst aspects of my Grans death was the fact that she couldn’t see us all in the future. I always imagined taking a girlfriend up to her house, or going up there for my tea and just talking. I wanted her so badly to pull through her operation and recovery. But she was suffering, her leg had to be amputated and she had pneumonia. She couldn’t even speak. We all had to accept that she couldn’t stay any longer.
I’d been worried all day long about tomorrow until I heard that song.
