To those who knew DarkPetal I send my condolences. I feel like I've missed out on meeting a wonderful person, and I regret not walking up and talking with her when I would see her user bobbing about In-game. Many who didn't know her probably feel the same.
I can say this though, where she is now is a place of paradise, where there aren't drugs, or violence, or pain, or accidents. And so to those who knew her, greave, but remember the happy times you shared, the memories. Celebrate life and all that it is worth. I can only guess that, that is what DarkPetal would want.~
I have for you all, a Poem writing by William Wordsworth , that I think you'll find most fitting:
What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.
