Hiya

Yes, it was a couple of years between the two.  I don't usually take the time when inspiration strikes unless it's about someone important to me. Hoping to change that.

I was watching some home videos a couple of days after granddad died (he had cancer and really went downhill quickly in the last month so I had already said goodbye a week before - it was too sad to keep going back and seeing him sick like that, I couldn't do it anymore).  And I was just remembering all the good memories - most of them with him behind the camera though, but it made me laugh and made me cry and then I just wrote this poem about 2am that night.  It was quite theraputic really.

Have you had someone close to you die?

Do you have long gaps between the two?
