I have a fantastic Girlfriend called Kat, and recently her Nana passed away. It was very sad. During the days after her Nana's passing, I asked Kat what I could do or what she needed. She asked if I would come to the funeral in Napier. So I went.

It was nice to be somewhere that I didn't have to do something or have prearranged meetings to be at. Kat and I actually got some quality time to hang out and not be pushed to go anywhere or do anything.

One evening we got away to the beach for a few moments alone. The sun was setting and we were having a good laugh. It was a rather romantic moment if I do say so myself. The sky was clear and there were just a few clouds for the colour to reflect on. Just as the sun was setting I asked Kat possibly the most silly question. It wasn't a bad question, just the wrong timing. I asked her what she missed the most about her Nana. Poor Kat broke down in tears as she thought about how much she missed her Nana again. With a simple question I managed to totally distract her from the beautiful sunset and the nice time just hanging out we were having.

I know she appreciated me asking her but I possibly could have found a better time hahaha. Ahh the things I learn the hard way hahaha. I'm sure this wont be the last time I do something like that. Yay for being able to ruin any moment at any stage - Its a gift I tell ya.

Have you done something similar or been on thre receiving end?
