mirrorworld - "Pudi" - took his own life on 3 December 2009.
I've been meaning to post here for some time, but thinking about it just hurt too much. Eventually I realised that if I waited until it didn't hurt any more, I'd never post it.
Pudi was also the maintainer of
http://www.lifewood.org/ - the online garden of remembrance mentioned on the userinfo page for this community. I don't know what will happen to Lifewood now.
We miss you Pudi - you were the living definition of the phrase "gentle giant" and one of the sweetest men I ever knew. RIP.
