So sorry to hear of your loss.
: No, no, I haven't been slacking....
: A dear friend of mine died on Monday morning. He was 26 years old with a young son, and a fiancee with four children who adored him. He had a heart so big that it stretched across an ocean, and his death will leave a big void in my daily life and in my heart. So I post a special thought for my 'Voodoochyld', Melvin.
:
: Death is nothing at all
: I have only slipped away into the next room
: I am I and you are you
: Whatever we were to each other
: That we still are.
: Call me by my old familiar name
: Speak to me in the easy way you always used
: Put no difference into your tone
: Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
: Laugh as we always laughed
: At the little jokes we always enjoyed together
: Play, Smile, think of me, pray for me
: Let my name be ever the household word it always was
: Let it be spoken without effect
: Without the ghost of a shadow on it.
: Life means all that it ever meant
: It is the same as it ever was
: There is absolutely unbroken continuity
: What is death but a negligible accident?
: Why should I be out of mind
: Because I am out of sight?
: I am but waiting for you at an interval
: Somewhere very near
: Just around the corner
: All is well
