Mark passed away this evening and my heart is truly broken. My heart is heavy for the people I love, my eyes constantly fill with tears. How can tomorrows come and go day after day and he isn't in my life anymore?
He passed peacefully and on his own time, in his own way, at his home with family around him. It is amazing, death - just as birth is, an absolutely amazing process and I would not have changed spending the past 18 days with him for anything in my life. I would change the outcome if I could, but it's a done deal now and I have more amazing memories of time spent with him, talking to him, traveling with him than one person should be allowed to have. He taught me more than any one person in my life ever has - even in his passing I learned the true meaning of faith - he had it, he shared it, he never gave up, he just kept playing. He was a hero and a trooper.
One Christmas he gave me a plaque "I love you to the moon" - you said it Mark brother, peace to you - I will see you again, until then "just keep playing".
