I'm so sorry for your loss of a dear friend. Never makes sense, never will. Though we can always be thankful that we were blessed with a wonderful person's presence and lucky enough to have crossed their path in life. So many wonderful people of the world, but they just don't often make the news. Very heartfelt post, thanks for sharing it with us.
It's nice to see the entire 'finger on the map' poem. Maybe I've missed it from before on your posts. But it obviously has a much deeper meaning than I originally realized.
As for being remembered, I'd have to truly think on that for a bit. But right off the bat...I suppose more than anything, making people smile and laugh and enjoy life. It's all we have here on this plane, I feel we should strive to enjoy it. Though I know that is hard for some, who have been handed circumstances beyond bearable. Well, on to that positive side of things, hope your day is a grand one, though it is almost time for it to go to evening. Cheers
