The conection we make to those amazing friends is enormous. They are here even more briefly than us, but they teach us a lot. I love the contrast in the black page and the last one: brilliant. Really nice. And well, to me, at the end they were never ours, they were a gift and a reminder of have wonderful but short life is.

I love it. It made me a little sick to my stomach, but (I assume) in all the intended ways.
Well done.

What a finely wrought piece of work, both in word and formal innovation. The ending struck me hard, like a hammer to the back of my skull. Thanks, Debbie, for producing such beautiful art!
