Leosin's blog: "For the fallen"

"When you lose someone, you don't lose all of them.

You lose them piece by piece.

First their mail stops coming,

then the scent of them fades little by little.

You never really lose someone completely though,

for they will always be in your memories

and have their own special place in your heart."

I don't know who wrote this, but it doesn't really matter.

I've kept this little piece of paper with these words on it with me at all times since my mother's funeral. Truth be told, I can't even remember who gave it to me.

In some little way though, reading it does help to dull the pain.
