In memoriam

Igår sagde jeg endeligt farvel til min farfar. Jeg har skrevet om ham et par gange herinde, og de fleste, der kender mig, ved at han betød alverden for mig. Han var en kæmpe inspirationskilde, og til trods for at have været lige knap 94 år gammel, havde han den mest fantastiske hukommelse, og var altid klar med en spændende beretning om hans rejser, venskaber og oplevelser.

Det er lidt underligt at skrive om ham her - hvorfor skulle han høre til på bloggen? Men han var som sagt en kæmpe inspirationskilde for mig gennem mit liv, og i min lille bobbel af kunstnerisk og kreativ udfoldelse, er det kun oplagt at ære hans minde, idet han nåede at give mig så meget. Jeg kan kun håbe, at resten af mit liv bliver ligeså fyldt med oplevelser, lærdom og berigelse, som hans var. Og så kan jeg kun krydse fingre for, at jeg en dag vil være til lige så stor inspiration for nogen, som han var for mig.

// Yesterday I said a final farewell to my grandfather. I've written about him a couple of times in here, and most of those, who know me, know that he meant the world to me. He was a great source of inspiration, and despite having lived for nearly 94 years, he had the most fantastic memory, and was always ready to talk about his travels, friendships and adventures.

It's a bit weird writing about him here - why would he have a place on the blog? But as said, he was a huge source of inspiration for me throughout my life, and in my little bubble of creativity, it's only right to honour his memory, since he gave me so much. I can only hope that I for the rest of my life will live, learn and love as he did. And i cross my fingers that some day, I'll be just as great of an inspiration to someone as he was to me.
