"Losing people you love affects you. It is buried inside of you and becomes this big, deep hole of ache. It doesn't magically go away, even when you stop officially mourning." -- Carrie Jones

[It doesn't go away, but it does get easier to bear, stings acutely less often ... still, there have not stopped being times when I think, "Oh, Dad would find this really interesting!" or, "I should ask Dad, he'd know..." or perhaps the biggest of all, "Hey, I wish I could introduce you to my dad," and then for a while it is fresh again. Thinking today about Donald Glen Arthur Sr., b. 1931-11-04, d. 1999-05-17.]
