Pingout of sad news.
I’m feeling sad for me. This is a true personal loss.
I never met him, but I learned so much thanks to him and all he did here.
I can only imagine what he did in the “real” world for those he was truly close to! I’m sad for them, also.
But, I’m not sad for him. I knew he had been through some difficult things and I always wondered how he was doing. I guess now I know.
Rest in peace, 2ndDivisionVet, and thank you!
Thanks for the ping; post.
Peace, my heart, let the time for
the parting be sweet.
Let it not be a death but completeness.
Let love melt into memory and pain
into songs.
Let the flight through the sky end
in the folding of the wings over the
nest.
Let the last touch of your hands be
gentle like the flower of the night.
Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a
moment, and say your last words in
silence.
I bow to you and hold up my lamp
to light you on your way.

Such a loss for us here. He was a trusted contributor who scoured the media for topics we needed to know about and had an evenhanded approach.
