Life is full of ups and downs: the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat, the welcoming of a child, and saying goodbye to loved ones. All these things make life worth living. The sting of loss eases, though it never disappears.

Paul brought a lot of joy to my experience of Steem right from the beginning, and I will dearly miss our long and deep conversations. He filled countless lives with hope and promise — including mine no less.

Here's to the eclectic life of Paul, "there at the beginning of the stories you love", his stories forever imprinted on our beloved Blockchain who has now earned eternal rest.

I will miss you dearly Paul.
