I love doing memes but hardly ever get tagged so I&#8217;d rather not let this one pass.

		<title>Farewell, Thatha!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Distance of time and place generally cure what they seem to aggravate; and taking leave of our friends resembles taking leave of the world, of which it has been said, that it is not death, but dying, which is terrible.  ~Henry Fielding
