bonafide

Today, for a few moments, the world stops turning.
Hearts were broken today. Souls shattered.
And people all over were silent. Not believing what they heard.

It's unfair, how it seems as though the kindest people are taken away.
It seems far too soon. Knowing how they have touched the world.
Changed it for the better.

It's a feeling shared by so many. I remember seeing with my own eyes how it brought people, who hardly knew each other together.

I remember us all giving in money to buy the family tickets, so they could spend some time together.
I remember us crying and hugging.

I remember you being there for us when we needed support the most. Even though you were sick, you were there. Cheering us on.

Love you, mama Bakke. You will never be forgotten here, I promise.
May you always rest in peace.
