People continue to pass through our lives, and when some of them touch us it makes it more difficult with there passing.
On losing one of my instructors I was able to turn that into something positive by spending months acccumulating the material he shared to keep him close forever, both by my actions and by the result.
I would hope we can all find a way to rejoice in his decision, for if its making him happy, what could be better, and in turn find a way to make our loss a positive experience in our lives.
Of course that takes work.
