One of my grannies - the one I lived in Sofia with for a while and whose husband passed away recently cries on my shoulder and hugs me and won't let go.
She is a wreck.
I will have to attend a second funeral when the ashes are lowered into the Earth's crust.
Yesterday she received her husband in a box - he was cremeted because there is no free burial ground in Sofia anymore - so many corpses city authorities need space as big as several Heathrow airports.
"This is all that is left of my husband," she wept and pointed to a small box.
We lit candles and she prayed although I find it grotesque and stupid.
I hoped I could inherit their place but no, she and her sister had a terrible row and now I and my sis are left with nothing.
Both grannies are 83 and above.
I didn't want to get involved but they got me into this.
They have another sister, aged 65.
She had her leg amputated when she was 25.
She stepped on a rusty nail. They didn't take her to the doctor and the wound got terribly infected.
So bad she lost her leg.
My sister is also visiting and we are goind to the mountains for a break of all this hell.
Also we have a new swimming pool in our neighbourhood so I really need to spend some time with nature.
Life is so short and meaningless it just ain't real.
