I hurt right now. Deeply grieving the loss of my grandmother, two of my best friends and the wonderful man I have called my Dad for the past 25 years...
All within 7 weeks... I know that love transcends everything. I know that love is really the only thing that matters. But right now I'm feeling such pain and loss that I'm going to crawl into my self and stay there for a while until I can stand the bright light of life again. Much love and merry whatever you celebrate at this time of year xoxox Y'know, when I left Melbourne, I never dreamed that 10 months later I'd be sitting, wide awake and caffeine fueled in my house at midnight, glued to the CFA website because my new home is ringed by major bushfires.
The smoke fills the air, I'm finding it hard to breathe and my eyes are stinging. This is sitting inside with the windows and doors shut and wet towels stretched along all the door and window sills. There are buckets of water everywhere, the gutters are full and I've implemented my fire plan ahead of any drastic emergency. Thank you to all those wonderful people who volunteer their lives to help us. I am so deeply grateful to you. Another light went out in my life last night. Thank you Alex. I love you. The world was a better place with you in it - thank you for leaving your music with us to heal us all. |
