after A's decease was known to us, before work start, we called for a meeting. Everyone listened silently, girls came near to tears. The meeting ended with a note that all we can do now is to work to our best.
As R has been promoted to DGM, he could take over A's work without much problem; I was working with other departments to settle some internal matters for A, and make sure all pending staff claims can be completed as soon as possible; we discussed when and how to inform business partners about the sad news...
By mid morning, the somber mood was gone and most of the staffs were working as usual, there were jokes and laughters, just as if nothing has happened.
Someone said that no one is irreplaceable in an office. It is so true. After a week, or a month, or a year, probably most of the staffs will not think about A anymore. Perhaps people will talk about him, his achievements, but would people MISS him?
But to his family, for years, may be for the rest of their life, they will mourn for losing him, and will always miss him. To them, NO one EVER can replace him.

Sometimes when one think of those dear ones who are gone forever and discover that the pain is still there ... they are still missed, that means they are still living, in one's heart...
Yes... and I think I will miss him too.
