Glad it wasn’t you, Tim. But this was someone’s Tim Burke, so here’s a thought for those who remember him:

In this sad world of ours,
sorrow comes to all…
Perfect relief is not possible,
except with time.
You cannot now realize
that you will ever feel better…
And yet this is a mistake.
You are sure
to be happy again.
- Abraham Lincoln
