"Same to you buddy, same to you."
You seem to be having some problems with your posting. Buck up! Hey, this should help. The great Saint Anselm asked me to pass you on this letter. It seems to be up your alley! By the way...do you think this canonized Saint is going to HELL?! YES OR NO!! (He talks just like you, eh!) :-)
"...sweet to me, sweetest friend, are the gifts of your sweetness, but they cannot begin to console my desolate heart for its want of your love. Even if you sent every scent of perfume, every glitter of metal, every precious gem, every texture of cloth, still it could not make up to my soul for this separation unless it returned the separated other half.
The anguish of my heart just thinking about this bears witness, as do the tears dimming my eyes and wetting my face and the fingers writing this.
You recognized, as I do now, my love for you, but I did not. Our separation from each other has shown me how much I loved you; a man does not in fact have knowledge of good and evil unless he has experienced both. Not having experienced your absence, I did not realize how sweet it was to be with you and how bitter to be without you..."
