We learn the truth about friendship
through the death of our family & friends.
Once the punishing weight of grief winds down
we experience the presence of the dead.
They talk to us, & we talk to them.
We not only remember but feel our mutual love.
It is not that we are strong enough to do without them
but that they stay with us forever.
They appear, observe, wonder, remark, remind us
not who they were but who they are to us.
