LM, this reads as a tender goodbye, elegant and graceful on the surface and full of depth and meaning.

I hope I am not too late and you get to read this. The news is surprising and also hard and sad to hear. I have come to enjoy and look forward to reading your work and exchanging views and opinions.

It has been a pleasure, thank you for blessing and inspiring us with your words, thoughts, humour, friendship and wisdom.

I hope the road straightens out for you in as much as you need to navigate the bends, and we may one day see you here again.

Keep smiling, laughing and being the big ball of bright you are, my friend. All the very best. ✨🤗
