"life's just a series of "should I or soulhd I not", isn't it? As you say, it's a good thing to keep in mind that nothing is written in stone on this planet, but on the other hand one soulhd not dwell too much on such thoughts. For me too it is a constant battle of the mind, but I guess that's how it has to be. Be sad and thoughtful when you feel like it, but also enjoy life whenever there's a chance. And I think a person only dies when nobody remembers him or her anymore... and that's quite an encouraging thought. Leave a good impression - like your friend did - and you might be remembered forever.Oh, and btw.: I thought your article is very well written!"
In loving memory of
