Mitch Albom Quote
Why? Did you ever wonder? Whypeople gather when others die? Why people feel they should?It is because the human spirit knows, deep down, that all livesintersect. That death doesn't just take someone, it misses someone else,and in the small distance between being taken and being missed, livesare changed.You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time onearth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. Whenlightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes thatyou might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not.We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. Onewithers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
