    Videos of my now deceased sister playing violin.

    The Tragically Hip - Ahead By a Century

    I will cross a room to turn the radio off when it is playing.

    Both died from the same brain cancer and I can’t handle listening or watching either of them yet.

        Specifically that song, it was my favourite song of theirs. I tuned in late to their last concert when it aired on CBC, I thought I must have missed them singing it because I was so late but it came on next. I was happy I didn’t miss it but I cried as they sang it.

        I have heard parts of it in the years since then, I have probably heard the whole song a few times but it hurts to hear it.

      That sounds really rough. :(

      I find stuff like this doesn’t ever change for me, even though it may hurt less over time. I like knowing I have it, but … I don’t need to watch it.
