Numb
Today, my dad would have blown out 78 candles on his birthday cake.. if, of course, he'd made it this far. Even if he hadn't contracted cancer in his late 40s, he might not have lived this long anyway.
And yet, I can't help thinking that we, those who are still trapped on this planet, are the ones who should envy him. And my mum, and all my grandparents, and a fair few others besides.
That they no longer exist is the primary reason why I still can.
It was them, or me.
The universe made the wrong call, and I know it.
