I try to get out for a walk every day with Emma and usually wlak along the canal, the noise of the water, ducks, swans etc being more preferable to that of cars etc. To get to the towpath, we cross a footbridge. Last week, the local paper reported that a local lass was found dead in non-suspicious circumstances on this footbridge. Floral tributes left on the bridge have grown over the last few days.
On approaching the bridge today whilst listening to shuffled music for the first time via my iphone, "Forever Young" by Alphaville started playing, somewhat spooky as she was only 18 and I haven't heard that song in years!
Not sure whether it's because of Emma, but I've been left more conscious of my own mortality.
