We know loss Because we've felt love and hope. We know sadness Because we've understood happiness. We are broken Because we were once nearly whole. Take comfort, dear friend. One day in the heavens, Away from our consciousness and earthly pain, You'll find what you lost, Your beloved, a part of you. And you'll laugh with tears of joy. Take comfort, dear friend. You cannot find what you haven't lost. Sending all my love and strength at this difficult time to you all. X
