I said farewell to a friend last night. Forever. Fifteen years of friendship: celebrated joy, shared pain, compassionate laughter, indifferent circumstances, inside jokes, outside barbeques, pure trust, and unconditional love; all of it ended in seven words.
Fifteen years.
Seven words.
Two names.
One email:
"Take care, Name.
All the best to you,
Tom"
Seven words to realize a friendly death.
Of course, it wasn't my choice. When one is on the receiving end of endless anathemas, there is really nothing that can be done but to say farewell and move on into what remains of this frail life.
For all we have is today, and the day after that, and the day after that, and the day after that.
Be the change you want to see in the world. -Gandhi

Thanks, LLM! And let's toast Captain Picard, too, while we're at it.
So glad that Carl, Fiona and I are part of your "today, the day after that and the day after that" thank you for being so open with all of us, even about the difficulties that you are encountering. *HUGS*
