They continued to meet the challanges of life together, supporting each other when they could, and, in gratitude, bore witness to one anothers growth. They came to see themselves as growing each day; so as not to outshine that which sheds light.

They came to appreciate their differences and shortfalls. And also the impermanance of life. They sought further with the strength they had together and discovered themselves. From the demons that, too, had red blood in their veins - to the innocent whose blood is drained before they had an after. They came to see themselves in all things and all people; so as not to shroud that which needs light.

Together they wept all of their tears,

and together, laughed of all their joy.
