The most unhappy anniversary

Vaiva died 10 years ago today.  I remember it like it was yesterday. 

I wonder why the worst moments in life remain so vivid.  Some of the best moments are also clear, but there are long stretches of my history that have gone blank.

I am in Vilnius to commemorate the sad occasion.  This morning Aras and I visited Vaiva's grave in Antakalnis.  We took an Uber to get there.  When I entered the car, on the radio Eric Clapton was singing "Tears in Heaven."

You can't make this stuff up.

Tomorrow we will attend a commemoration by Vaiva's colleagues at the education ministry.  Saturday we will have a pot luck luncheon at the house for the relatives.

Aras has a private lesson at the moment, when he is finished I'll post a photo.
