One of my favorite cousins has withdrawn from physical consciousness and returned to the non-physical realm. I don’t feel sad. I just feel extremely excited. I’ve already connected with him and I can feel his presence stronger than any presence I’ve felt before.
I know my aunt and other family are devastated by the loss and the circumstances of his transition. He was murdered by a sensless idiot. But he always was one to do things with a splash and passing quietly into the night wouldn’t have been his style.
