Today I as I was scrolling through the People app on my phone I was struck when I came across a name of someone who had died a few years back. Then another. And a 3rd and a 4th. Some family and some friends.
I stared at their names and phone numbers and replayed a few quick memories of each in my minds-eye. My finger lingered over the delete button but I couldn't seem to go through with the act. Delete seemed so final... as if finding them there in my address book kept a small piece of them here with me. A silly notion for sure but even as I write this I have 4 contacts of family and friends that no longer exist.
What would I do for my phone to ring and their names to show up on the caller ID just one more time?
