Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.

This world has given us such gifts, for some it is a new life, for others a second chance. We find love, we find comfort in people we would have never met otherwise.

And then...through a cruel twist of fate those we grow so close to can be taken away from us.

It is painful, the worst pain a person can feel when they lose someone they love...but so long as we have our memories we never truly lose them.

In the end we must be strong for them, they would not wish us to act as though they had died. They would want to be remembered with respect and for us to hope they are happy where they have gone to next.

Being sent home is a gift for many, a dream that many Tamers wish for each day.

These are the musings of an old man who has already lost too many in his life in ways they will not return from. I simply ask that you reflect upon them for now.

I wish... I wish I could say that big brother would believe something like this. I think normally he would...

But right now he's just hurting too much for it...

These words may comfort him in time.

But for now you are doing exactly what you need to be doing young one.

Eat this, it will make you feel better. Remember you shouldn't deny your emotions, but do not indulge too deeply in your sorrow. They are safe, they are home. You will see them again.
