Dash

I saw a photo, a facebook meme with the back of a headstone and basically it said it's not about the start date or end date but about the dash.

Wow! seriously, that is incredible when you think about it, the dash...the life between the dates.
Oh my, what a dash you left, the lives you touched every single day you were on this earth.
I am honored to have been your friend. I constantly remember things you did and said to me.

I know it wasn't perfect but it was you, you were always honest, funny, caring. Yes, you got angry but after a little venting all was mostly good!!

I miss our IM-ing "stickers", I miss you telling me to have sweet dreams when I'd let you know I was signing off for the night.

I love the dash that was your life.
