Guardian (8and20) RIP

[Raptorex]

I always loved this, and listened to it read often at the passing of a friend, I also feel it is true. I hope no one is offended.

Dying

I am standing at the seashore.

A ship spreads her sail to the morning breeze and starts for the ocean.

She is an object of beauty, and I stand watching her until at last she fades on the horizon. Someone at my side says, “She is gone”.

Gone? Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all – The loss of sight is in me, not in her.

And just then, at the moment when someone says “She is gone”

There are others who are watching her coming. Other voices take up the glad shout, “There she comes!”

And that, my friend, is dying.

I was just working out and hit a new personal best. I was thinking about Guardian right before I pumped out my reps, I think he helped me a bit.

Just got back from Mass. I hadn't planned on going today. Only intentions mentioned were Will and his family.

Signed his online guest book too, as I noticed many others have done (with real names no less). We should all be so lucky to be so well thought of when we go.

Have a nice night all.

Last night I was talking to Dirty D, i'm changing the name of squats to Guardians. She is changing her Deads to Guardians. It just fits...

Excuse me while I go pump out some Guardians.

8and20 was one of the few people to post on my back improvment thread and give me advice .
I wanted to give thanks for that.
I just got back from doing legs , did some front squats like he suggested for my quads,
I really almost cried thinking of how he is gone , just outta nowhere gone. It is amazing how someone I have never met can be so nice and helpful from hundreds of miles away.
Thanks for the help and advice 8and20, it will be missed

wow, that dude was in seriously good shape too. Is there anyone I can talk to who was close to the situation and knows exactly how he died? I ask because from an earlier post it sounds like he had heart problems.........I have a personal interest in that because I have heart problems as well. I'm not asking out of purient curiousity.
