Perhaps a Decade On, a Decade of the Rosary Would be Appropriate

I cried when I wrote this ten years ago today and again just now when I rediscovered it.

An amazing aspect of technological applications and evolutions is the development and dissemination of information that can be shared by an infinite number, but which is, simultaneously, beyond formal communication channel constraints and constructs.

I never had an opportunity to meet Major Andrew Olmsted, US Army, though I read and enjoyed his blog on a regular basis until this morning. 

His final entry is literally that. If you can read it and keep from crying for him (and for all of us), tell me how, as I cannot stop.

"If I leave you, it doesn't mean I love you any less. Keep me in your heart for awhile."
