When I knew he was dying, and would not last much longer, I put my camera down and knelt beside him and I leaned over and kissed him on his forehead and whispered in his ear, “I love you, friend, thank you for this wonderful time with me, for the gift of your healing and your wonderfully loving and brave spirit. You remind me to never quit on life, and now that your time is coming to an end, I wish you a beautiful flight, and all the freedom, love, carrots and hay that you so richly deserve. You are a light unto the world, a testament to spirit and compassion. Good journey to you.”
