I first met Li in soquili.. he was a newbie that many ignored without even so much as a hello. Being quite the social outcast in that shop.. I knew just how hard it was to get a pet in there. I saw him and asked him if he'd like to co own a filly I'd gotten from a breeding, knew nothing of him just thought the guy needed a break and I took that first step to help him get a foot hold into a difficult shop to make home. He and I talked for long hours, rping, joking and even ranting over things in life in general he was there when my brother in-law passed away a few years back due to a combination of Aids, and cancer in the brain... He helped to keep me strong so that I could be strong for my husband who was in so much pain over the passing of his brother.
I got to know him on a level of friendship i hold just as special as I do those I've known from HS in real life.. though our faces never truly met.. he was my friend, my dear sweet close friend who took things a bit litterally and bounced a quarter off his (at the time) boyfriend's bum because i jokingly said once my man had a butt you could bounce a quarter off. He was a very special guy.. and to know that I'll never see him log on or get another silly txt back from him.. it breaks my heart.. I wasn't able to log on to find the news out.. Other friends that knew I'd been working quite a bit called to let me know of his passing when i was on my way home from work.
Akira.. i know you can hear me where ever you are.. I'm glad I got to know you even more glad I clung to you like glue and followed you around from shop to shop.. there are many passing friendships we make in this life.. but yours was one of comradery I held upon level with my adoptive sibling friends.. You are a special soul and will forever be some one I look back upon with fondness. Amazingly talented, and sweet. You left us too soon... but I send with you my love, friendship and wish you all the peace in your eternal slumber.
These faekats were made by akira.. the horse.. was the first gift I gave to him that sparked our friendship.. forever will they all be cherished.
