Livre d'Or

In consolation....maybe it's because I haven't had the experience of losing them that they now don't seem to mean that much, but when I moved from my Hermes account I saved 10 years' worth of emails onto CD (thinking I could not do without them), checked the disc, and then never looked at them more. Some were of quite profound sentimental value, but it seems that the actual having of them or looking at them is not the most important thing. I guess it must be the having had them.

I know it's a horrible thing to feel you've lost something, the more so because it's something intangible. But I'll bet you you still have the most important things represented by the emails themselves somewhere about you.
