RE: So I was In the Van Knitting, With Dad...

I often remember my grandparents, friends, relatives, my father in law who’ve passed away over the years. Memories pop up when least expected and I think my wife has had some pretty intense flashbacks recently that have troubled her. My theory is that it could be grief, even some years later.
I’m starting to take more photos of my parents now than ever before because I’m wary of the fact their years are advancing at an incredible rate of knots.
Tina’s mum has been recovering from a stroke which we believe was triggered by grief for the loss of her husband so suddenly.
Now she is much better, the relief has given way to deep introspection in Tina’s case and she has struggled recently.
Music is a deeply rooted thing and I know this thread of the bond I have with my parents will live on eternally in my soul once they’ve gone.
It really is a kind of trauma, so it's not suprising that she has a rough time every now and then. You really need a good philosophy and to be able to face them when they come. No amount of preparation can prepare you for it - but it's definitely something we all share at some point in our lives. Much love to Tina.
