Well, a year later and I feel like I can finally honour my close friend with an entry.  He was a friend, a mentor, an ally, a GM, but most of all a man of duality.  He cared for his friends and those whom he didn't know at all.  Yet, he could be easily annoyed by human faults and frailties.  Some of our friends call him a angel.  Others say he now leads the legions of hell.  I think he's in Purgatory, so I pray for his soul as I am called to do for any other saint (the non-cannonized kind).  Anything I say in tribute to this man for whom I owe so much would be inadequate, but know ye that I am a better man because of him.  Lord, thank you for placing people like him into our lives.

 

RIP Michael Lee Jackson, 9 August 1964 - 8 March 2004
