Life Sneaks Up On You

While I am here my real life tends to disappear.  I am living in this other world where the sun shines brighter everyday, accordion players sing in the streets, and eating strawberries in January is normal.  Once in a while I am brought back to reality.  Tuesday morning (here) I received news of my grandmother passing.  I feel awful to not be able to be there for my family in this time but sometimes that is life.  You can only hope that your thoughts and love can spread over the sea.

To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die.
