For it matters not, how much we own, the cars… the house… the cash. For that dash represents all the time they spent alive on earth and now only those who loved them know what that little line is worth.

He noted that first came the date of birth and spoke of the following date with tears, but he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years.
