I found out about 90 minutes ago that my best friend's father has died. I knew it was coming and yet I am shaken. She's miles away and I cannot be there for her. Rationally I know there is nothing I could do even if I were. Her life has changed forever.
And the beautiful sychronicity of life is that today is my father's birthday. And I am shaken.
Today Jimmy Saville, who lived in Leeds and had a house in Scarborough where she and I met, had his coffin on display today ahead of his funeral in Scarborough tomorrow. And I am shaken.
Next Friday I will be performing in The Queen's Hotel in Leeds where Jimmy Saville's coffin was on display today. And I am shaken.
The show I made and will be performing in is about grieving. And I am shaken.
Death is everywhere. It touches every life. It is the only certainty we will ever face. And I am shaken.
