How time passes by...Soldier on...

1 minute read time.

I felt like blogging because I'm feeling a little sad today, a year ago on this day I arrived home back In Australia after 5 years in London. Today was also the day we had our family meeting with the hospital nurses and doctors and learnt of the reality of mums condition. It's a sad time for me remembering the lead up to moving back home, feeling relentless anxiety for mum, not knowing what to expect yet fearing the worst. I've been listening to a lot of music lately and reflecting on our journey over the last year. ive found the song below particularly relevant to me and my  feelings in the lead up to mums passing.

 

Who wants to know?
All that is gold, is rusted
No one will know
Seasons cease, to change, and..

How far we've gone
How far were going
So here and the now
And the love for the sound
Are the moments that keep us moving

Waves crash along
Battered lonely lighthouse
Tomorrow shes gone
And if not, some, they somehow
Are, these, hands, always

Well this side of, mortality is
Scaring, me, to death
To death

Don't think about it at all
Just keep your head low
Don't think about it at all

Soldier On
Soldier On
Keep your heart, close to the ground
Soldier On
Soldier On
Keep your heart, close, to the ground

Don't think about it at all
Just keep your head low
Don't think about it at all

Yeah..
Will you take me tonight
Yeah..

Soldier On
Soldier On
Keep your heart, close to the ground

And that's what we did, and continue to do, soldier on....
