Soul Sisters
Good afternoon friends!
I've put together another short little video of my August with my best friend, Kana who came to visit me all the way from Japan. She is currently in Barcelona now. She is in the classic car business so she hopes to extend her travel plans to visit a show in the UK! I hope I can join her and then venture up North to visit my Mum and Grandmother in Newcastle. My Grandmother is getting old and I have a knot in my stomach wondering when I will get that call. I keep reminding myself that I'm blessed she is alive, lived a long and happy life so far, and not in pain.
Today I finished putting together another short little video of my days with Kana. She is amazing and talented. She is very creative, has a kind and gentle soul, and very fun to spend time with. We laughed all the time. I must have gained years of life by spending these two weeks with her. She is very special, and I feel deeply that we are soul sisters. Do you have that special someone in your life?
We haven't seen each other in over 10 years but it felt like no time had passed. I hope you enjoy this video and some of my favourite moments and places here where I live on the West Coast of Sweden.
Enjoy ♥︎
Definitely go and visit your Grandmother if you can! I visited mine on her 90th birthday (along with almost all the extended family) which I was happy to do as she made it to 92 before she passed of natural causes (though due to covid at the time not too many relatives were able to visit, my mother being in another country at least got to speak to her while she was cognizant in the hospital thanks to one of her siblings.)
Glad you have some special people like Kana in your life, I think this is one of those advantages that you get when you move around between countries, you can just instantly reconnect with friends even if you've not seen them in ages.
Hej Lars,
I really appreciate you taking the time to write and share your heartfelt story about your Grandmother. As I get older I wake up more and more to the fragility of life. Life has it's beauty and also it's pain. But we can't have one without the other.
Sounds like your Grandmother had a beautiful long life. I'm glad to hear you were able to celebrate her 90th year! That's wonderful 🥰
Yes, Kana is truly a special friend. To think we have not seen each other in 10 years, and the moment I picked her up at the airport it was like no time had passed!!! I feel like we are connected on a very deep level. We have experienced so many similar things in our lives during these 10 years. It's almost like a shared soul journey or twin flame sort of thing. Do you believe in that? When we saw each other it was like we were both pulled back to our teenage years. I felt a new youth wash over me. It was a very healing two weeks together. It felt slow and peaceful, yet the two weeks flew by. I came out feeling different. Happier. I felt like a door was unlocked inside me and I felt peace wash over me. The power of humanity. We can do a lot of things alone, but we humans are better together 🥰
Thanks again for sharing your thoughts with me, Lars. I hope you have a great week!
