An amazing, ordinary life...
It was raining today in Edinburgh. Maybe it is quite fitting when a life is consumed. I have mixed feelings. Although I will miss her I am strangely relieved for her too. The prisoner has been set free. That body that got in the way of her mind, she finally left it behind. Now she's back with the love of her life and that dog that she secretly loved. 22 years is a long time to wait to see each other again. I wonder how she felt, looking back at her body, now nothing but an empty shell. I bet she is happy to have gotten rid of it. I can see them walking arm in arm like they used to, so long ago, my grandfather asking "what took you so long?" My grandmother died today.

Well I do live in a Victorian house after all!
Thank you, it felt so strange to be there and see that little coffin, I can't even say it, the word "coffin" makes me cringe. But I know she was a trooper, tough little lady, so I must go on and think positive things. I know she will be watching over me.
