6/13: a friend

...who passed away this week.  His passing away was not at all a good thing, but I today I've been especially thinking about how wonderful he was, so I'd like to try to celebrate his wonderfulness instead.  He was so supportive of everyone he seemed to come across and made me feel like I was splendid just the way I am--and I know he made lots of other people feel the same way too.  He is a glittering spirit, and I'm very grateful for him and all he brought to this world.
