Ace just got a call telling us that our friend Mouse died. I can't imagine how hard this must be on Shadow- she was everything to him. This has got to be hell. Mouse was a truly wonderful person, and I feel privileged to have known her. And I'm not crying because she's gone, I'm crying because she's not here. Because I'll never get to talk to her again. Because Shadow has lost the person he loves, and because so many of us have lost such a good friend. The world is truly a poorer place without her.

I believe in making funerals a time to celebrate a persons life. I believe in remembering the good times, and recalling what someone meant to those who knew them. But that can come later. Right now, I grieve. Both for Mouseie, and for those of us left behind.
