To life, death...
...and everything in between.
Dear stranger,
Though I never knew you, you taught me that life can end so abruptly, and often too early. Though I never knew you, I am saddened by your passing.
So here's to life. Here's to the rare glimpses of joy, compassion and love that we fail to appreciate; swallowed up by our trivial fears and worries. You never know how much time you have left, so don't waste a minute.
Wherever you are, may you find happiness and rest forever in peace,
- M
"Fairness does not govern life and death. If it did, no good person would ever die young...the human spirit knows, deep down, that all lives intersect. That death doesn't just take someone, it misses someone else, and in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed." - Mitch Albom
