Backstory
Whenever I start to feel sorry for myself, missing some very cherished people who are gone from my life, I am slapped, sometimes gently, with reality. These people may have left me behind, perhaps rightfully so, but they are not "gone." They've gone on to live other lives...as have I. And I have no right or reason to mourn.

Mourn them honorably. I have many cherished ones that I have or have left me behind. Sometimes there was no love lost.
