I hate death.
As you guys know, my Hive journey has taken a back seat to a higher calling in my life these days. My new career has taken my focus off the blockchain and into the job I have been hired and called to do. It's literally, the greatest job I could have ever hoped for.
But because of this new commitment, I have left a big chunk of my 'old life' here. I love Hive, I love $LEO. I love entrepreneurship. This blockchain has been my home for the past 6 plus years and I dedicated every ounce of my being to this place. On top of that, over the past few decades, my online businesses has taken me to some pretty cool 'highs' but even lower "lows"...
But no matter what happened either on chain or in my business, the best past about it was always the people you got to meet.
I don't think you guys need any evidence, this place has some of the coolest folks you will meet online. And when I was into my online business, there was some impressive people I met along the way as well.
One of those guys is @bradleyarrow
Bradley and I met from my old @clicktrackprofit stomping grounds. And he came over to Hive when I tried to bridge the gap between online businesses and crypto adoption. To say Bradley took to this place would be an understatement.
This guy is literally the definition of consistency, as he not only fell in love with Hive, he's been posting for almost 1800 consecutive days. Impressive :)
I actually met Bradley in real life too :) He's a real dude. And we hit it off pretty well seeing that we are from the same province in Canada - Newfoundland. Well, he is actually from there...I was just born there and have family on the island.
Just an all around good dude.
Bradley was dealing a lot with something personal that I'm sure he wouldn't wish on his worst enemy. His wife was battling cancer for years and you saw the pain in his posts over the years....
Wishing he could help her more. But with her by her side, every step of the way.
Sadly, his wife passed away about a week ago.
I mourn for my friend. I wish there were words that could comfort people at times of grief like this, but all we can do is assure them that we are thinking about them. And praying for them and their family.
I know I'm not a big deal around these parts anymore, but I am asking for a favor from the Hive and LEO community. Drop @bradleyarrow a follow! Support his BBH project! Send him a thought and comment or two over the next few weeks.
Just to let him know, he's part of the greatest community online and on any blockchain.
Appreciate you man, and so sorry I didn't see the news earlier. My family and I are praying for you big time. And like I mentioned in the Discord note I sent you, you have my number, if you need to talk, drop me a line anytime.

Thank you so much my friend. Through all my grief over the last week, and this will tell you what I think of you also, you were the one piece missing. Hear from you, and getting your condolences.
I never expected such a post as you did and you will never know how it lifted my spirits.
I know you are on the road you need to be.
All I can say, and after seeing your LikeTu post of your family trip a few days ago, you are on the correct road. The road of family first.
Enjoy every single day, hour, minute, second you have with them my friend.
There is never enough time.
Once again thanks for everything over the years, and thanks for reaching out on discord and this awesome fracking sauce post.
Bradley
Appreciate you man. So sorry for not seeing your news earlier.
I'm very sorry to hear about the passing of your wife @bradleyarrow. I wish you a lot of strength and courage to go on. Hope the hive family can give you some energy and support...
Thanks my friend :)
Death cannot be avoided at all costs.
But anyway good that you found your dream job.
Feeling sorry for @bradleyarrow.

I have been following Bradley for a while and it was definitely a hard fight against cancer for his wife. I am praying for him and his family to get over the loss.
Yeah he went through a rough time for sure. Just awful.
Honestly, I never knew he was going through such. It’s really sad losing a partner. I pray she rests in peace and I pray God consoles Bradley
Yeah it's been a few years now for sure. But he always remained positive.
Thanks for letting us know, Jon.
For sure!
I think HIVE is kinda a platform where quality people come together as any other internet forums/chats 20 years ago.
Agreed. Best of the best here.
Wow Bradley was a remarkable person, and I'm sorry for your loss. The Hive community really does bring together some incredible individuals too
One of the best guys you will meet here on the chain!
Wow what a remarkable person
I really wish I have the energy to be posting everyday. My offline job hinders me from a lot of things. I love Hive so much and I’d love to have more time for it
I hear that! Same with me. I'd love to spend more time here but my offline job just doesn't allow it, along with the 4 hour commute lol
God bless you for being a true friend.
Thank you.
