Any one of us is replaceable on our jobs. We are certainly dispensable -- as dispensable as Dixie cups, in terms of what we can do. The only things that make us unique and irreplaceable are those things about us which singles out -- the things that go unnoticed except by love.
After the death of his wife, C. S. Lewis wrote down what love misses most, in these lines, "Now to walk alone or not at all, to order one pint instead of the usual two, to think of but not make the small time-honored jokes senseless to all but you, to ... talk upon those themes we talked upon when you were there, to make some poor pretense of going on, to be kind to one's old friends, seeming to care. While all the while, oh God, through the years no one will ever say the simplest common word in just your way."
That's what love remembers and that's what doesn't fade.
