Condolences, I don’t think I’ve sat in front of a screen crying since my Gran died while I was away in the Alps. The twins are beautiful. As a fairly recent father to a 6 month old, I cannot even begin to understand. All I know is that sometimes religion offers relief, an understanding that there is something for our loved ones who have passed.
I had many dreams like that after a good friend died when we were at school, i would wake up thinking I’d just been for a ride, or to some gig or other, only for it to hit home, I’d feel utterly desolate then. It eases let the memories be the good ones.
