Remember me!

"Whatever you do in life it will be insignificant.
But it is very important that you do it, because nobody else will.
When someone comes into your life and half of you says; 'You're nowhere near ready', the other half says; 'make her yours forever'.
Michael; Caroline asked me what I would say if I
knew you could hear me. I said I do know!
'I love you!'
'God, I miss you.'
'I forgive you'"


With september 11 coming up, I wanted to point you guys in the direction of a really beautiful movie.
Very few movies have the power to touch me.
I run through them and forget them just as easily.
But this one simply screams;


Remember me


Featuring names like Robert Pattinson, Emily de Ravin (from 'Lost'), Chris Cooper, Lena Olin and Pierce Brosnan,
and directed by Allen Coulter, this is a movie you have to see!
It is an american romantic drama, situated in NYC and it touches things like love and loss, rebellion and bonding.
It talks about losing a loved one, and what effects that can have on a family and a relationship.
Having lost both a brother and a child - I can relate.
I know, first hand, that some of the reactions shown in this movie, are real ones.
I know how one can get angry.
I know how trust can be difficult, and how easily you can get hurt.
I know that sometimes, putting distance between yourself and loved ones is the only way to keep breathing.
I'm having such a hard time dealing with this.
It is not fair that we are meant to loose people.
I never understood what I did to deserve losing someone I love.
And this is why I don't believe in God.
If God is good, and means us no harm - then why, why, why does he allow us the pain of loss.

This movie reminded me of my lost loved ones.
How much I loved them.
How deeply I miss them.
And how I, strangely enough, have forgiven them - for leaving me...
It is such a good reminder of all those left behind after september 11, 2001.

So see it! Reflect! ...and remember!

Når ord blir fattige.

Når ord blir fattige og hjertet blør, da finner jeg det naturlig og greit å bruke ord som andre har skrevet. Et dikt som jeg selv har funnet styrke i mang en gang. Først da jeg som 15-åring mistet en betydelig person i mitt liv, og senere da jeg mistet mitt eget barn. Ord som er så sterke for meg at det bringer den smerten jeg dypt begraver til overflaten gjennom den første linjen. Jeg vet hvordan de har det nå, de som sitter igjen med et barn for lite. De som ikke kan forstå at de aldri mer skal høre stemmen til deres nære. Jeg vet hvor vanskelig det er å skulle åpne øynene og møte en ny dag. Og så en til. Og så en til. Jeg ble fortalt, gang på gang, at alt blir bedre etterhvert. Men ingen fortalte meg noen gang hvordan jeg skulle leve akkurat da. Ingen kunne si meg hvor jeg skulle hente styrke til å stå opp og ta den dusjen om morgenen, smøre ei skive til frokost og komme seg på jobb. Og ingen fortalte meg hvordan jeg skulle klare å takle demonene som fortsatt besøker meg når det er ...

Finally!!!

After what feels like forever, my wish has finally come true. Joey DeGraw is coming to Oslo to play! It's been a spring full of emailing, calling and a lot of organizing to try and get Joey a gig over here. It's felt like a ton of work, yet I didn't really get anywhere. Then my friend Monica stepped up and got Joey a gig at a small, but very cozy pub called Buckley's in Oslo. I'm exited. Thats an understatement! I get to see Joey in the city I live in. No fuzz with travelling and no stress what so ever. It will be amazing. All I need to do is to sit down with a drink and enjoy some great music. This summer is saved, no matter what happens, cuz I get to see Joey DeGraw LIVE! :)

Before.

Just thought I'd show you a "before" picture of the room we're fixing up... I'll get more pics as we go.. :)
