The void.... it does get filled, eventually, by new people, right?
In the cemetery on a young WWI soldier's headstone I saw this:

• A loved one from us has gone; a voice we loved is stilled; a vacant place is in our home that never can be filled.*

I was confused about the transplants - liver and kidney? Might as well be a cyborg. Lori often wished for a titanium kidney. :)

The hole may never be filled, but then we, too, pass over to the other side. I am trying not to picture something like auras or X-ray images of all the humans walking the earth with voids inside...
