Is what we do with the dead important? Clearly it is to some people, but I wonder if there are those who look at this scene and think “Who cares?” With the vast range of personality and ideas in the world I suspect there are those who feel that way. If you are such a person I say to you “Fine.” I have no interest arguing the point, think whatever you like, strawman. If nothing else these characters care about what happens to the remains of someone they never knew. They care about honoring the dead for whatever reasons exist in them. I think there is something in many people that quietly says to them “Someday this will be me, I hope someone will honor me as well”.

I, however, still live at the time of this writing, and hope that you will honor me with support via the links above. I assure you I will appreciate it more now while the spark of life still burns within than I will after it has burnt out. Or at least I assume I will. It possible that I will appreciate it more after I have left this world for whatever lies beyond. I simply guess that when I rejoin the void all things sprang from I won’t be able to express appreciation in the way I can now, where you can see it.

Regardless, I hope you protect your living flame until we meet again. When next that time comes we will revel in the simple joys I try to present here. For now though, farewell.
