Remember remember the 5th of November !

I followed my good friend’s funeral in this church this afternoon. We had been close friends since 40 years. We were together at a party 3 weeks ago. We talked on telephone 17 days ago just before he should meet some old colleagues for lunch in the city. At that lunch he got sick. Five days later he passed away. I gave him my last greeting in the filled up Nordstrand church in Oslo today. Life goes, life comes. The priest told he got a grandchild today on November 5th. In the morning I had my yearly doc check. I got my Covid and flu jabs. Right now I keep my breath hoping I will see «my» presidential candidate will be the next president of the United States when I wake up tomorrow. If not November 5th will be a sad day. Anyhow November 5th will for sure be a day I will remember.
