The Loss of Nene

the loss of Nene Forever is an awesome word we use without realize the implication of the verb. A friend of mine is dead. I will not see him again in my lifetime I say this to avoid saying forever. Summer and winter will pass snow-topped mountains will remain, but my friend will eternally be dead. Ashes in an urn are lightweight and has little to do with the man I knew. He is an abstraction like the dust in the road, to say goodbye is useless he is beyond the known.
