It's very easy to temporarily forget about someone when they're no longer with us, or maybe it's better to say that our minds are easily occupied and distracted. That whole out of sight out of mind thing can be unintentional. But photographs can stir up the deepest of emotions... and it's good to be reminded of those we've crossed paths with.
So maybe we die alone, and maybe we're recycled, maybe we'll be forgotten centuries later... but we're still irreplaceable. Maybe the general idea of a person can be substituted, but there will always be little quirks or personality traits that cannot be matched.
Your employer can hire someone new, your ex can find a new lover, but you, in yourself, are unique. There are certain qualities that will never be replaced, certain voids left hollow. You should know that.
And me? Hell, I'm not trying to replace anyone. I never could, not truly. I understand that. I'm ok with that. I wouldn't even try, because I know it's not possible. I just thought you should know.
