Heart Shaped Balloon Embroidered Art Plaque by Samskiart
On Tuesday night we played at a cafe/bar in Bremen's old docks area which has been regenerated into a creative artsy quarter. The stage was outside and although it threatened to rain all night we got through without a drop. By the time we were on it had got colder and my heart was heavy so it was a little flat. Afterwards I couldn't help myself but weep and feel utterly miserable that I wasn't with my family.
Yesterday we drove to Bremerhaven, about 40 miles north of Bremen to play at Passage Kino. Heiko, who is the whirlwind maverick behind this Songs and Whispers tour, met us at the venue clutching two red heart-shaped balloons. He explained that they were for my grandma and so I took the balloons and let them fly high and free at the waterfront in Bremerhaven. I was very touched by this beautiful gesture.
What a lovely gesture..so sorry about your grandma, they are special to us girls!
Sorry to hear about your Grandma~hope you can hold her in your heart..
My grandma died suddenly at the end of last year and I can understand your apprehension about continuing on with your life after something tragic has happened. Rest assured that this is an ever-present, normal phase of grief and your grandma's surely very happy that you've achieved success!
I think there's great healing power in symbols and rituals like the releasing of those red balloons. So nice for your friend to think of it.
so sorry to hear this news...hope you are feeling ok.
