After reading so many replies to this question, I'd say we are special.

He told me of his love for his wife, his thankfulness for the time they had together, and then he handed me a poem written on a small scrap of paper, his words not quite written in a straight line. That gift of connectedness that writing -- or other arts -- brings us seems so essential that I can't quite imagine you not writing or not singing, even if it's only quietly inside.
