Togetherness

I can't believe 2009 is in full effect, and unfortunately I haven't even BLOG'd this year. I've already taken so many photos. Some aren't bad. I've been so busy, which is a good thing, but today I was at a funeral in LA for one of my wife's family members. The minister recited the following poem.
"Togetherness
Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room.
Whatever we were to each other, we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the same easy way you always have.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, and pray for me.
Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it always was.
There is absolute unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is past. Nothing has been lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was before - only better.
Infinitely happier. We will be one, together forever."

I know this has nothing to do with photography but it is to good not too share. More photo adventures to come.
