two funerals and a breakup
It’s a celebration of someone’s life. Yet tragically two lives were very short-lived. Sometimes words don’t really do justice to the hurt and sorrow of losing a loved one. Cliches and pick-me-up phrases aside, some moments:
- Bubbles floating in the wind, dancing around the lowered casket covered with bangles and flowers and tears
- Three men and a lady staring at international arrivals onscreen, eye contact with the grieving father an uneasy burden
- facebook moods shifting with the days
- drifting into thought as two men argue inconsequentially between the terms “stillbirth” and “miscarriage”.
- The male protagonist sets the mood as she sleeps; from the musical “Miss Saigon”.
- Tony Laf also sings it well.
As for learning about a breakup, it’s better to have loved. A line of lyric says simply, “cos we’re moving on.” – an answer to the question, “it will be alright because?”. But all rhetoric aside, she is sad.

What all this does mean though, is that I’m fairly behind in my uni work – 3 assignments that need to be started on, none of them really fleshed out yet. Other chores during the holidays too, like servicing the car, WOF, paying bills (my dad’s bill money ran out – uni poverty here we come), and it’s still touch-and-go for many other things and other people.
Take care everyone.
