I was being pissed at Gmail (not really, more at just the concept of business and payment) when I took a glance at my list of contact on the left. Pretty normal routine. Except this time, I noticed that one particular guy on my list didn't exist anymore. Not in my life, nor anyone else's. How often do we have a one-way email to no one? Something we know we can send something and never get a reply?
Matt Lash will be remembered for his sad passing a year ago, this April. Even though he will forever remain in my heart, gmail, facebook and msn, seeing his name there sometimes brings a smile, sometimes, a glassy tear. He was the wittiest lawyer ever. The cutest boy in the hospital. And although it kills me that he has passed, I have ne'er a memory of him I want to forget.
So that's why he stays on my list. Even though I know I will never get a reply, even though he has passed from the real world, and obviously the virtual, I think part of his soul remains. Remains in everything he touched. That's why he stays on. He may be appearing offline, but you know...
You never know.
