The Dash Personalized Framed Print
“I read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on the tombstone from the beginning…to the end.
He spoke of the memories with skillful hands. But also elicited a laugh for his antics and jokes beloved his friends.
At last, he spoke the final words as all who know the person must, but they collided with mourning in our hearts because we are left with the dash. That line encloses all the years the time of life he’s here. Until the ellipses means he has now disappeared.
