The Twelve Days of Christmas: Day Eight
Saturday, December 8th, 2007Day Eight: “25th December” by Everything But the Girl

My grandfather died a year ago today. He loved to hear me play the piano. The music open on the piano is one of Chopin’s Nocturnes. Scribbled above the music is a phone number of an old high school friend. She’d moved and called me right before I went to Europe to give me her new number. We made plans to meet up after I returned.
She died while I was gone.
