To my confident and friend, Kapera, you have stood beside me since day one in various forms, and beyond that, you willingly slipped into another's shoes that I would continue within this world, keeping a silence that we would be able to walk side by side. Kapera, I thank you for being the dearest of friends, the most patient of teammates and the encouraging me to fight day after day even when I was tired. Thank you for dragging me when I fell and encouraging me to take just one more step towards the end.
GreatWolf, you were amazing, thank you too for your silence and patience, for compassion, laughs and ultimately, standing beside me even when I was not sure I would stand much longer. We will see you here on the other side one day, but until then, have fond memories of our blundering stumble to the end.
Now the light is calling and I must step into the fields of the otherside, but a memory on the wind, yet I do not think I will ever forget. Remember, within the afterlife as in the present, cruelty often begats the greatest mercy.
