There are people in life who somehow manage to fly under the radar. They are there, but we rarely notice them. Their presence feels so natural, so taken for granted. Until they’re gone.When that happens, there is a kind of awakening. Suddenly, we all become aware of the void they have left behind, remembering their glory days, successes and achievements.
