Dedicated to the grieving families of Seth Poling and Sandra W. Marlowe. May peace be with you.

Does anyone ever sit in the place the missing loved ones had at the table? No. It will never just be a chair again. I had a place, you had a place, but that chair that was your favorite is now free for anyone to sit in. There is no chance I will see you sit in it again. No more memories will be made. I have to try to close the hole. I should at the very least take back this spot, sit once in your chair. Otherwise I will always be staring at a gap in space. But I can’t. It will always belong to you. So will I.
