death ends a life, not a relationship

this quote is from brainyquotes dot com, and to make matters worse, was coined by jack lemmon, but fuck off with the cynicism! it just happens to sum up nicely how i feel about the whole death thing, okay?

you can love someone as long as you remember them, and you can think about them and talk to them and write them letters too if you want. it doesn't matter if they are dead - hey, they will probably be about as outwardly appreciative of you as they were when they were alive, if your friends/family are anything like mine! (just joking - i know you love me, and i know that you know that i love you!)
