going home

I am going home to the far north of Norway for a couple of days, just me, leaving hubs and kids behind..


I'll be coming in by plane...

Green dot marks the spot... of the city of Bodø where I was born - North of the polar circle
the scenary is stunning

appr 50000 inhabitants

the weather varies, a lot...

The sea eagle is the landmark of Bodø - you see them all the time in their majestic appearance

I am going to visit my parents

but will also be seeing my wonderful grandmother... she is very ill and in a lot of pain and agony. When I was a child we had a very close relationship, my grandmother and I, and I am so sorry she has to endure such a rough old age... she most certainly never deserved that!

We have done so many things together - skiing, fishing, hiking, visiting family far away and driving there by car together. Spending weekends and holidays with her was similar to warmth, safety, enjoyment, laughs, special treats, relaxing, long talks, fun times...

I love her. She was only 37 when she became my grandmother. And 61 when I made her a great grand mother. I can't imagine life without her.. But I guess I'll have to face the fact that I just might have to...
