Yesterday’s funeral was quite a heavy experience for me. I haven’t lost a single friend or relative since the eighties. My dear old grandmother was one of the nearest and dearest of them all, regardless of her memory loss and inability to recognize me properly. It’s already been a month since her death, but it only came real the minute I saw the coffin in the church. I cried most of it out during the ceremony and had a great time with people I hadn’t seen in a long, long while. It was almost like grandma was there with us one more time.

Rest in peace, Mummi.
