There is no substitute for another.
no way to get over their absence.
People who tell you that there is a way,
don't know the truth of it.


What can I pray for ?
 that the happy, peaceful soul of yours is among saints and friends and stars.
 that you are home, a home I don't know anything about.
 A home I too will return to someday when my life here is complete.

"Remember man is dust and will return to dust" 
The priest at St Patrick's Cathedral
on the event of Ash Wednesday, as I lifted my head to have him smear my forehead with black ash.

I must remember dust is in my future.
