Quoteness

I just found this on someone's LJ post... made me think of Gaz and all the other little ones that we've lost:

"We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own live within a fragile circle easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan."
Irving Townsend

I still miss all my babies...
