theferrett has, as usual, good things to say...

And if you really want to show your sympathy for my mother, or for Kristi, go out and hug the shit out of someone you love right now. Call the relative you think of every week, but haven't talked to in three months. Whisper an unspoken love in someone's ear.

We are all tiny bags of flesh and bone. We are all on the way to the grave, our hearts slowly exhausting themselves one heartbeat at a time. Our lives here are short, and you fucking give the love you have to give right now, goddammit.

Because they might not be around tomorrow to hear it. So do it while you're still upright and on the earth, okay?

People at Psinging tonight? Don't be surprised if my greeting/parting hugs are more intense than normal. It seems... right.

Yeah. This is something that's being pounded into my head these days, starting with the death of my housemate's mom. Maybe I need to put aside my fear and start saying the things to people I always tuck away.

Maybe I need to put aside my fear

Yes. Because as life keeps demonstrating to me, fears that are strong enough to control one's behavior are probably blown _way_ out of proportion.

And the people who care about you will want to help you through them, and will understand.

I'm not going to be anywhere near you anytime soon, but the thought's a good one. I'm glad I know you. *hug* <- across the miles.

There was also the song "The Living Years" by Mike and the Mechanics.

Life is such a bloody miracle that it's something celebrate every day. Smiling at the random person; making silly faces for no reason. It's a celebration of miracles.

Yes. Yes, indeed.

I call a foul. You stealth added me to your friend list. I just noticed. That is no fun at all.

I give you the RAZZberry.

'Twasn't intentionally stealthly! Sorry! I don't necessarily remember to tell people that I've done so unless their user info suggests I should. :)

[trapon.livejournal.com]

No harm done. I just like to know so I can return the attention. I do nto spent much time on my own user page.

Man, now I'm really sorry (sorrier than before) for missing Psinging, if only for the extra-special hugs.

But you're absolutely stone-cold right. We need to love each other with every effort. There is nothing more important than this, in the end.

Nothing.
