Loss
Today has been rough.
I read this morning of Matt Severns/Sir Thorvald's passing. I wish I could say I knew him well, but I didn't. I do know that he was a good, wonderful man who participated in at least three miracles, his children. He and Amy/Victoria made it possible for me to attend my first Pennsic, paying for half my entry in exchange for my watching their young daughter during the battles so they could both fight. I could have sworn I had a picture of Matt fresh from the field, grinning ear to ear, but I must have it only in my head. I rarely saw him at events, but when I did it was so good to see him smile, always friendly. Many many people knew him and adored him, and many are grieving today. I wish whatever consolation possible to those who loved him as family and friends.
I've spent part of the evening looking back on my posts following Courtney's passing, on loss and beauty, grieving and the blessing of friends.
