Missing in action , Melvin C Dye.
In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all, and to the young it comes with bitterest agony because it takes them unaware.. Perfect relief is not possible, except with time. you cannot now realize that you will ever feel better... You are sure to be happy again. To know this, which is certainly true, will make you some less miserable now. I have had experience enough to know what I say and you need only to believe it to feel better...
Abraham Lincoln , December 23, 1862
