Superman

I had only gone to my room to quickly get changed when this evenings sunset brought me to my window. Golden hour had mostly gone and twilight was slowly bringing in the stars and it was then as I was watching the evening sky change that I spotted the plane flying across the sky with its vapour trail following along behind it.

When we were kids my mum used to say, 'There goes Superman...' and being a massive Superman fan (still am) that gave me the greatest comfort. Tonight after a horrible horrible week, that tiny vapour trail outside my window, again,  gave me the greatest comfort.

Yes... I know it's only a plane, but old memories never fade and when you were a child everything was magic and anything was possible. Which is why I ended up sitting there in a darkened room for far longer than I should have, watching the night sky change colour and remembering some lovely times.

John, you will be greatly missed by all of us xox
