Finding just the right...

...words for this relay of a comment I received on a post from back in January  is  a little difficult because I don't want to dwell on the lesson learned by a reader who made the same mistake I did. In January I wrote a post entitled Presence. Yesterday evening I received the following in an e-mail which the reader was kind enough to let me quote here:

"Jim,  I had to email and tell you something. 
A while back I emailed you and told you that I had shared your "Presence" piece with some friends and have put in my favorite folder.
Short version:  Friday, 3/17/06 was an old dear friends b'day - his 86th!  I had sent him a card - and meant to call him on Friday.  But didn't. 
His son called me Sat evening and said he had died Sat. morning.
He did have a nice birthday - and he had gotten my card.....but I wished I had called.
Took out your article and read it again..shared with some of our mutual friends, and it helped - through the tears.
Just wanted to let you know I still enjoy your site."

Nothing for me to add beyond that...
