“Better by far you should forget and smile, than that you should remember and be sad...”
Each of us has their memories, each of them as unique as we are, as unique as was our relationship with him. These all together make a picture of who he was. But a person is always so much more than the sum of the memories, thoughts, achievements, relationships with those they know, influences on the world around them. All that they are, all that they were to you, to the world, cannot be summed up in mere words. Here language fails us. It is not enough to describe a feeling, an emotion, a lifetime of experiences and actions. And if words cannot say what and who a person was, and what they meant to you, then they become just as obsolete when trying to describe what the loss of them means.
He is gone. My friend is gone. There is so much I want to say but can't. Words will not do what I want them to, aren't enough. All I can do is remember. And I do, I will, always.
