Funny how these things come round

My nana died two years ago today. As if that wasn't bad enough for my dad, one of his running group, a man he's known for twenty years, also died today. The sad thing is that his death could have been prevented if he'd gone to the doctor a little earlier. But that's the way it is with cancer, isn't it? My nana died of cancer, too.

the worst part is knowing that while he'll never forget her, she'll never be able to think about him again

Yes. That is the worst part. I can't talk to her or phone her anymore. I will probably never visit the town she lived in again. I always wonder what my grandma, my mother's mother, would have though of me if she hadn't died when I was 11. I tend to think life might have been much easier... we were alike in many ways.
