I'm forgetting what you look like...
I miss you quite terribly.

How uncertain life is -- how decades of expectations, planning, and work can crumble in a matter of months.  How resilient people are -- how, despite devastation, we can pick up our broken pieces and dare to hope and plan again.  Because life is so uncertain and we are resilient in return, we should appreciate and savor the present above all.  Never take anything for granted and quit worrying about the future.

That's what I've learned from it.
