“Tis a Fearful Thing

‘Tis a fearful thing
to love what death can touch.

A fearful thing
to love, to hope, to dream, to be –

to be,
And oh, to lose.

A thing for fools, this,

And a holy thing,

a holy thing
to love.

For your life has lived in me,
your laugh once lifted me,
your word was gift to me.

To remember this brings painful joy.

‘Tis a human thing, love,
a holy thing, to love
what death has touched.”
― Judah Halevi

“I grew up in, the concept of “La Familia” is by no means exclusive to the bond between blood relatives. When I was growing up, every older person was a “tio” or “tia” (uncle or aunt), and I referred to so many people as cousins who, biologically speaking, were not.”
― Óscar Muñoz, Turnaround Time: Uniting an Airline and Its Employees in the Friendly Skies
