Challenge #04413-L029: We'll Meet Again

The news of Gikka's passing due to old age filters its way to Wraithvine. The immortal dragon healer, in hir guise as a gnome, placed a gentle hand on Wraithvine's. "Never gone as long as she is remembered, and I'm not leaving your side any time soon, my friend. For I live as long as you." -- Anon Guest

Thousands more may yet pass before either of them met their eternal rest.

I still don't know if I'm allowed to mention her name online. She never wanted her abusive ex to track her down through photos online or mentions of her name.

Well. That arsehole can't hurt her any more. He can't contact her, he can't cause her any more stress. In

Jewish Mourning

For those wondering how to respectfully mourn Mr. Nimoy in his own traditions, rather than using the Christian iconography that is so prevalent in our culture, and yet so incredibly inappropriate, this is how. 

Jewish families “sit shiva” in respect for the dead for a period of seven days following a death. This is a time of mourning for the family, where they are visiting in their home by the community. It may be solemn, it may be a
