I think that's hitting the nail on the head for sure. When my brother passed that was the first time in my life that I felt my age. In my head I was always still 20.I am still struggling with this as well and feel silly about it. I think it's a mortality and age issue for me. Back when the Hip was always in the background.. the soundtrack to my youth so to speak.. I was blissfully unaware that people die of cancer, that we get old, that some days memory haunts you. I knew that stuff was there.. but it was nothing but conceptual for 20 something me..
It's just an eerie feeling, and I look back now with more years on me and more memories and that soundtrack can still bring back strong memories and I am now completely aware of how fragile life is. It just makes me sad, and grateful and feeling time speeding by.
I don't think I'm ready for the Documentary yet.
And Lisa and Dancin'.. just sending love and strength to you both. I understand it must be hard to feel all the things this is bringing up and it's brave of you to share. While I have some personal stories of cancer, they aren't brain cancer. And it sounds like it is just a vicious beast of a disease.
I have to say I did not shed one tear last night watching the doc. It was so well done and it left me feeling impressed by what an amazing human being Gord Downie was. It was a beautiful kiss goodbye.
