facing death

i guess after the first one, one learns to let go a lot more easily when death occurs.

after all,
1) all things, good or bad, must come to an end
2) death liberates him/her from his/her suffering

some say what's left is just the shell, that eventually reduce to ashes and dust
but they forgot
the love and impact they left behind
will remain on and on.

it's not a tearful goodbye.
but happy in a certain sense of a way.
