So my grandmother died yesterday. Which is really sad, but probably for the better. I doubt she’d have survived the cancer anyway, at least now she doesn’t have to go through another terrible round of chemo. We’ll manage.

Jeg ved godt, at du har en stor familie, som er der for dig. Men jeg vil stadigvæk sige (igen), at jeg er altid ledig, hvis du har brug for at snakke ♥
I know, I know. Det er fantastisk fint af dig. Det kan godt være jeg bringer det op ved lejlighed, hvis jeg lige bliver grebet et øjeblik. Det virker stadigvæk så absurd, det der billede af mormor der ligger som en anden voksfigur med en lyserød rose og lidt andet blomsterværk under hendes altid så bløde hænder.
Jeg vil sige at vi griner, vi lever, og engang imellem bliver vi lidt uldne i stemmen og sidder med tårer i øjnene. Der er noget foruroligende over det, når ens mor, onkel og morfar græder. Det er jo sådan nogen autoriteter man er vokset op med som stærke figurer. Men, forstå mig nu ret, det er jo faktisk utroligt smukt på sin egen meget sørgelige måde. Hun skal begraves på lørdag. Så kan vi bevæge os videre derfra.
Very sorry to hear about your grandmother. The dove is beautiful.
Thank you. The dove is actually a redone bird from the beginning of 2009. I decided I wanted to draw her a dove, and this particular one is special, because it is one of Sofie, the Queen of Dove’s, messenger birds, that fly between here and Nangiyala in Astrid Lindgren’s “The Brother’s Lionheart”. That idea is very appealing to me. The original is here http://scandinavianlullaby.deviantart.com/art/Mathias-98878096 . This is probably the gentlest drawing I have ever created.
I’m so sorry to hear that . Rest in peace.
I am sorry too. But she was so very miserable with the way she was now, and how frail she had become, that I really think she is resting in peace. That is a good thing. Sigh. The rest of us can’t be selfish. But it is a shame, it was only two days before my mother’s birthday.
My deepest condolences. Hold strong!
Thank you. I will.
