Life Does Not Stop

Life Does Not Stop

Life does not stop when a friend gets ill. It does not stop because friends are not seen. The lives of others go on with or without us. Good intentions to call, to write to visit does not stop time for them. Death does not stop for them just because we have not called. Who a friend is becomes was in ways that the mind does not want to grasp. Instead the death is put on the shelf with the other memories - to be managed when life stops?
