This is the first time I've had this thought:

I really wish Mr. Still were still around, so I could talk with him, so we could fellowship, so I could show him poems, and talk about all things literary, botanical, culinary. So we could talk about Hindman. So I could really get to know him, and so he could get to know me.

Wow. I guess that's the big difference I'm feeling. I've been curious about him, his life, his work, his ticks, since this wild Hindman ride began. But, this is the first time I feel like wanting to share my life with him.

It's one thing to want to know about the lives of the dead. It's a whole different urge to want the dead to know about the life of the living.
