To absent friends...

[Xipe Totec]

Here’s to absent friends,
Always in our thoughts,
Remarkable, since we've never met,
Unless and except for this DU lounge.
Know that we love you and miss you,
And look forward to your return…

3. To those of us who have left us....

Andy Stephenson, Khephra, nostamj and alarcajon.

Rest in peace.

This is what you meant, isn't it????

4. That;s what it should have meant...

I agree...

6. Sad....

Those who I mentioned contributed so much to DU.

Andy was a dear friend, with whom I spent quality time in person. Kpheh was the first first person I knew at DU, because he posted so much in LBN. nostamj was a great guy. Alarcajon was also a great member, though I didn't really know him much.

5. They are in my thoughts too,

But they cannot return. :cry:

7. I wish they could...

Their input was extremely valuable.

8. That's where I have the advantage

I am Mexican; to me, the dead are always present.

Do not be afraid to converse with them, just because they are dead. If Washington and Jefferson can still speak to us, tough dead for centuries, why not Kephra, or alarcajon, who were with us in our own lifetimes?

Listen with your heart, and you will hear their voices.

9. Beautiful reminder

The only real death is to be forgotten. Our hearts will let them through if we open the channels.
