Changes

Sometimes it seems as if life just goes on, one day after another, and then suddenly everything seems to change at once. This is a time of change.

Today I went to my second funeral in 10 days, which is so weird. Last week we had to say goodbye to our adopted granny, an 89-year old lady, who had suffered a stroke. Today I went to the ceremony for the father of my closest co-worker, who was only 60 years old. My adopted granny seemed ready and reconciled to her death, my colleague’s father wasn’t. He was still so young, three daughters in their early thirties, two grandsons under two years’ old. It always seems such a waste.
