    As long as you're alive......you can't put life on hold like you can with a game-so that's why......those brief respites......when you can forget all the bitterness and pain...they let you take a breath......and calm your heart.If you don't give yourself that kind of time......living on just becomes, every so often-it gets to be too painful.
