That was a good read. I stumbled across this from another forum and enjoyed the eulogy.

I loved the eulogy, though I'm taking his sister's accounting of his last words with a grain of salt

As much as I have a general distaste for magical thinking, and as much as this story could be the wishful thinking of a mourning sibling wanting to believe he achieved death rather than succumbing to it, that seems, as it's presented, a pretty cool way to go about death. |
