THE day

Can you remember when it all changed?
Can you point back to one single moment as life altering?
Can you say the date?
Do you remember where you were?
Do you remember who you were with?
Do you remember obscure details?


A month into the new school year.
We were young and carefree.
15th of September 2004.
We were sitting in room 112, I was in the back row.
Inbetween two poeple I'll never forget.
I had a headache that morning, was considering staying at home.
It was the worst day of my life.
But I have never been happier I went to school.


Do you think back and wonder where it all went wrong?
Do you think back wishing it had been different?
Do you think back asking why it had to happen to you?
Do you think back knowing that moment shaped the rest of your life?

I do.

  1. Jag satt i min säng, kvällen innan, när pappa ringde och berättade vad läkarna sagt - att all behandling avbrutits. Jag försökte förstå som jag fortfarande försöker förstå. Hur ska man reagera? Hur känns det egentligen? <3
