You know how it feels when you meet your "special someone." What you don't know is what it's like when they leave your world for supposedly forever, and then you receive word that maybe they actually didn't disappear. That maybe, somehow or another, they are still somewhere nearby. This is my recount of how such happened to me once, and how I learned that we, as people and other sentient creatures alike, are responsible for taking care of one another's lives.
