It was Jasmin’s birthday. My little baby had become a child. Life flies past so fast, she was now about to start school.

It was ice cold over at David’s house, they were one of those older couples that had nothing left to say to each other, this year David even celebrated his birthday over at the Fox family household, he did never want to be home unless it was to sleep.

Val spent most of her life at the EdnaMary metro station. Chatting with her many customer, she was very popular with the commuters. Often hanging out with them even after working hours.

David held a small private ceremony. Our family was the only guests. The twins was on a long vacation abroad with the children, otherwise they would of course be here.

The Preacher said:
David have told me, that Val was the daughter of a Priest raised in a very religious family. Sadly, not the good kind of God’s man, she had a very hard upbringing, resulting in her leaving her childhood home at just 17. It will not be a surprise to anyone in this room that David and Val were not on the best terms these resent years, but we also know how good they were together, back when they managed the Café. Sadly, sometimes we can drift apart, but we still got the good memories left.
May her blessed soul rest in peace, Amen.

Spoiler
Do you know how pale and wanton thrillful - Comes death on a strange hour
Unannounced, unplanned for - Like a scaring over-friendly guest you've - Brought to bed
Death makes angels of us all - And gives us wings - Where we had shoulders
Smooth as raven's Claws - No more money, no more fancy dress
This other kingdom seems by far the best - Until it's other jaw reveals incest
And loose obedience to a vegetable law
I will not go - Prefer a Feast of Friends - To the Giant Family.
(I always get the chill when I listen to this)
