My small life is better for having known a great man. I praise his spirit and share loss, even from so great a distance. Long Live Leif! Master Ulrich Von Matanuska

My friend Bill
A philosopher once said �It's no different than diving into a very cold pool and swimming out the other side� Bill dove into that pool like so many before but instead of swimming he rode in a boat of frost and air We stood on the edge and watched him sail some right near the fire some quite far away, yet still close enough to smell the smoke He stood at the rail Young and old all at once, and strong as always and watched us drink his name his fame, our love, our pain And he waved from the rail as he sailed away knowing we'd all meet again Cathyn McKenna |
Death in the SCA. How we cope with loss is sometimes hard for the real world to understand.
a blogpost ending with:
And to those who knew him well; may Duke Leif be waiting with a horn of mead, when you approach the Great Hall for the first time. And he will say, "Welcome, friend! I can't wait to show you around!"
