You have such a way with words @perceptualflaws and your insights are typically wise and succinct and this is no exception.
I'd been working on this article on and off for over a week and today felt like a good time to finish it. I wanted to get it off my chest before moving on to other topics.
when his soul rises he will once again be free from the chains life has placed upon him, free to be the love you hold in your heart for him. A love that will bind you all for eternity.

Thanks for being an awesome friend!
