This is the official tributes and shoot-outs forum. This space will be available for us all to offer up our tributes and pay respects to those that we have lost but not forgotten. You can dedicate a post to a friend, family member, someone in the community, a celebrities, it's totally up to you. Please DO NOTreply to threads in this forum. Death is Nothing at All I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I, and you are you,
whatever we were to each other,
that we are still.
Call me by the old familiar name.
Speak of me in the easy way
which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes that we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me,
pray for me.
Let my name be ever the
household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without an effort,
without the ghost of a shadow upon it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was.
There is absolute and unbroken continuity.
What is death but a negligible accident?
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you,
for an interval,
somewhere very near,
just round the corner.
All is well.
