ON THE FRONT OF THE CARD:
Nothing
can make up for the absence
of someone we love-
and it would be wrong
to try to find a substitute-
we must simply hold out
and see it through-
that sounds very hard at first-
but at the same time
it is a great consolation-
for the gap-
as long as it remains unfilled-
preserves the bond between us
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer
