As I sobbed to U2, she would hug me tighter as we swayed to the musicRead more in the kindness of strangers seriesMy father died when I was 19, after a short and sharp fight with cancer. Unsure of what to do or how to proceed with life, I took a year off university and went backpacking through Europe. The other side of the world seemed like a good place to be.I ended up at the music festival Glastonbury in 2011.
