My father's birthday

Today my father would have turned 85, had he lived. We went together to the graveyard and placed white tulips on his grave and a candle. It was biting cold and dark in the graveyard but most of the graves had christmas lights on them so the surroundings were in no way bleak. It is nice to get an outlet for ones grief by going to the grave and have a moment of reflection. Today would also have been the birthday of my friend's Kristin's father. May they both rest in peace.
