I am sorry to hear of your passing. From what my friend says you were pretty exceptional. He says you changed him for the better and so I thank you. I thank you for being what you were and what you are; for taking the time to get to know our friend and for being so kind to him. I am glad you got to know him because he his pretty exceptional as well, but you know that already.
I was hurt inside by the abruptness of your death and its tragic scene. I hope that you and the individual directly involved will be reconciled one with another. I think about this individual and what his response and subsequent actions and emotions were. I hope that he feels the loss caused and in response works to improve others as you have helped to improve others.
My hope and faith are that you will see and be with your friend again; that you will again get to plow your head into his body. But for now I am at peace because I know that you were loved and that you loved others. I think that this marks a fulfilled life and a life that reminds others that not all is lost when something beautiful existed. That which exists will always be but it may be in a different form.
We are grateful for the time we have,

Thanks, Corb. It's times like these that I wish I still believed in some sort of sentient afterlife. In fact, this is probably the closest I've been to something that has died, and it is my first time dealing with death since "losing my faith" (I guess you could say).
I do feel, however, that the change he inspired within me will cause him to live on, in some way, through me (and Paige) in our future work in making the world more worth living in. I told Paige that the saddest part of this is that the world deserves to have such an amazing being present within it, and so the best we can do is continue his legacy (even if that sounds odd).
Mick brought Paige and I closer together, and inspired us both to be better people and better inhabitants of the Earth. His death has brought us even closer (already), and has caused us to feel even more so the urge to change the world for the better... the way he changed us.
Again, thanks for the note. I don't really know whether or not he can hear me - and I don't believe he can - but I talk to him every hour, just in case he can. I feel sorry for those who put restrictions on the connections that are to be had in this realm of existence. Sometimes they can be the cause of great and significant change. Sometimes they can be the cause of great and terrible sadness.
All I can hope for now is that I never forget... to be active, aware, loving, and empathetic. It's really far too easy to forget.
I hope to see you Saturday.
