So, I'm thinking of changing the verse on Diddi's headstone to:
He counted the night by stars,
not shadows.
He counted his life with smiles,
not tears.
Surely there's not enough darkness in all the world
to put out the light of his bright candle.
So stand still,
and whisper his name into the wind.
Then listen quietly.
He will always be nearer than you think.
"Nearer"...should 'nearer' be 'closer'?
Hm.
This isn't easy stuff, you know? It's only for eternity. Geez.
