permanence

I really struggle with the idea of permanence. Everything in life is so transitory, you don't really think about the fact that things can become forever. I think that's why we struggle with the idea of death. Frinds come and go, and come back again. Illnesses can, a lot of the time, be cured. People who die don't ever come back. Sometimes I'll think of my dad and some funny witticism I'd like to share with hi, and it hits me all over again that I'm never going to be able to see or talk to him on this earth again. Michael Jackson is never going to sing another song. Brittany Murphy is never again going to be in a low budget movie. Never is the word that scares us the most. Though, forever puts up a tough fight.
