As time goes by, the fragility of life is easier to accept, but each passing has not truly "prepared" me for the next. Wounds don't really heal do they ? We just accept them, and learn to live with them. Life is just different. Sometimes it's painful, sometimes it's not. Your passing is an important marker in time. You are missed Banke. When I meet a kind person, It reminds me of you. When I meet a creative person, that also reminds me of you. When I'm a part of a conversation and people are discussing the importance of true friendship, I always think of you. You were a true friend. A good friend. I will always cherish.
