"It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. It is like walking up the stairs to your bedroom in the dark, and thinking there is one more stair than there is. Your foot falls down, through the air, and there is a sickly moment of dark surprise as you try and readjust the way you thought of things."

Mourning Their Loss painted by Carl Wilhelm Hubner |
We are left in this world to experience their absence ... to look at the sky and pretend we can see them smiling at us. Left to feel like something will be missing forever because they are not here ... and at the same time ... feel grateful because they were once part of our lives. Left to hear their voices and laughter inside of our minds. Left to think, one day we shall meet again.
