Modern memento

I signed into Yahoo Chat today for the first time in years. In my contacts list was the name of a much-admired friend who died last month. I can't bear to delete that name; it would be like deleting her. But the name is a throbbing tooth every time I glance over it.

I can't take a couple friends out of my phone's address book for the same reason and yet it pierces me when I see them listed. as if I could just call them.
