Tonight, I was so sad that I couldn't create tears. The image of you forever engraved in my head is that of a vibrant and happy young man, but the memory that keeps dancing before my eyes is that of a thin and pale face with death painted over every fading freckle, hovering over every strand of chestnut mane.
I believe the thing that will haunt me most was your eyes on that last night. The green was dominant, whereas brown had been intruding most of that week. There was a vague look of enraged delight, and kind of deliciousness you said death always gave you. I knew this to be your catchphrase, tagline, over the many years, but little did I know that you described your own death.
The blackbird carries you on it's wings tonight. May Irish angels light your way as you journey to join the ranks of heaven.

My sympathies for your loss. You describe it so beautifully.
