“Death doesn't just take someone, it misses someone else, and in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed.”

—  Mitch Albom

The Five People You Meet in Heaven (2003)
Variant: It is because the spirit knows deep down that all lives intersect. That death doesn't just take someone, it misses someone else. And in that small distance, lives are changed.

“Miss my love today
as I miss the stars that shine above
telling me one day my love
will come to me again.
Miss my love, I'd say,
is the only thing that I can do.
I just can't live with someone new
reminding me of her.”

Gilbert O'Sullivan (1946) Irish singer-songwriter
