Pain and grief fade in time, sometimes surprisingly quicker than you'd expect.
Anger and bitterness last a lot longer, sometimes a lifetime, if you let them get the better of you.
I believe that a person dies at the time and in the way he or she is meant to go.
When a person dies, his story ends and there just aren't any pages left.
There aren't any what ifs or alternate endings. The circumstances of death don't define the person's life.
But the one thing the people left behind should do is to preserve memories of the person who has passed, the lessons learned from him and the way he made the people around him feel.
