Silvija

It was 4 am on January 2nd when we heard the taxi pull up outside and we started to haul our suitcases down to the street... and Silvija was standing there to lead us out. She was telling a story, but then when i was getting into the cab, she interrupted herself with,

Vaikeli, dabar ka nors tau pasakysiu... zinai ka, gyvenimas nesustoja. Gyvenimas nesustoja, she said, with her hands open, shrugging, ir mes gyvenam toliau.

And then she started again telling stories of other friends of hers.

Child, I will tell you something now... you know what, life doesn't stop. Life doesn't stop... and we continue to live.
