"Must everything, then, fade away until there are only the faintest traces left of a smile, a voice, a love?"

yeah.

it's that whole circle of life thing. it's pretty cool actually. like seasons changing or getting a new house. sure, it sucks while you're going through it but it gets better with time.

you know that part of 'don't let's start', right?

it really is true
and
it really is beautiful...

Thanks, cat. *hugs*

You're right, of course. On an intellectual level I understand that perfectly--without the eventuality of loss, love (and life itself) has no meaning. But right here, right now, at this point in my life, it's hard to remember that, so I'm glad I have my friends to remind me.

anytime, babe.

as frank burns once said, 'it's nice to be nice to the nice.'

or maybe that was margret

it was one of them for sure...

[nyssa23]

*laugh* Oh, that was definitely Frank. And thank you again. *more hugs*

I'm sorry for your loss, my dear.

[nyssa23]

Thanks, honey. *hugs you tight* So many losses, so many changes.

I'm sorry for your loss(es). But I also want to point out how your two stories dovetail: as memory fades and life passes at one end, memories are made and lives commemorated on the other. One doesn't erase or make up for the other; but it complements the other.

Hugs.

[that_cat_guy]

yes.

[nyssa23]

Thank you both. I am glad to have people around who understand. *more hugs*

Yes.

That is why all forms of art are so important to us.

Very true. That reminds me of Shakespeare's Sonnet 18: So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see/So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Thank you! *hugs*
