Oh man. My heart is broken. It's too much What an honor to have you, true believer. I love you, always. Go easy, brother. Go easy. Through thick and thin your heart what a lighthouse of kindness. Your eyes a mirror to a better world- your soul bled into ever. I do not know how to feel right now. Grateful for your time. But immense loss. "I've seen things you people would not believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glittering in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. "#RipNealCasal
