The only funeral I've ever been to was one I had no business at...

...but all the funerals I belong to, I've been unable to reach.

My grandfather.
My best friend.
One of my guiding lights.

And yet, this time... as I sat at my house watching my world encased in undrivably-bad late-season snow that never got plowed, realizing I couldn't make it to yet another funeral that was truly important in my life... I was at peace. A band I'd never heard before trickled the only song I know of that could compete with Believe by Savatage for a song of pure, sorrowful redemption...

Thank you, VNV Nation. Beloved... Believe... I have so many ideas flowing in my heart and soul every time I listen to either of these songs.

And no, I don't know why I'm posting this... just... overly thoughtful tonight.
