I would not go so far as to call it loving people... but you are correct that great adoration cannot come without great mourning. For the privilege of knowing someone, the cost is the silence that comes when they are no longer around. However you must hold onto both in equal measure to respect him, or else that care would be nothing but words.

You do not seem like that type of person, and I would hate to be disappointed.
