In short: Awesome. Moving. Strong. Instant. Classic! Too many feelings right now. Full story in my future research on music for health! Also – day in honour! – NEMCOM Annual Event Depeche Mode Bar went live today! November 30, 18-01, Café Broadway, Norrköping! See NEMCOM on FB for more details!
When we had our Mika Memorial and Bye Bye the 29th of August, Grandma Hedwig ended the ceremony with a baloon rising up in the air, with signatures on a photo of Mika from all of us attending. The Funeral Bureau had two extra baloons, just in case, and we got one of them home. It has been high up in our living room ever since. The other day I wondered when the helium would leave enough for it to sink. It happened yesterday! Mika, we felt, played around with it for a while, up … down … aside ……
Good night!
But did it today! 14 km! Hageby back and forth! Yay!
Our Guardian Cat On-Top-Our-Herd-Hierarchy Soto (born/register name Pinkalicius’ Pralin, Holy Birman) turns five years today! Two photo stories getting Soto in a Nutshell! First – drinking water. Then! What moves? Another cat! Bam! Gone into the dark! Who is in the Kitchen? Next, also from bedtime – literally! When I’ve done my teeth brushing and other go-to-bed preparations, entering bedroom. Soto with a sharp eye on me! Then – when we have found to be still and calm for a while. Enter middle! But leaning on Mother Karin, since Birmans usually lean on loyalty towards one in the first place….
When Nadine was here the other week, she made these Moshi. So good! And a great way to celebrate my 1st Kyu in Aikido from yesterday, with this great lovely Japanese treat!
Period. — LONGER STATENENT ON MY INSTAGRAM:
Mika was growing peppers, and the plant dried out. So did the pepper. We keep it as a memory, besides his “muminflaska”.
This Spring he was featured as an environmental hero, picking up litter on the streets. Now, his story on his passing away, told by Karin in text and voice, in Aftonbladet. Informing about the hell of Aplastic Anemia, and the future foundation in his name, creating awareness of the disease, and fundraising for AA research.
With greetings from all over Sweden, placing oil candles on Mika’s Grave.
Attended the annual memorial service for those passing on. Mika, in memoriam. I love you forever!
