Bragi............! Good to see you back!! :)
I liked what and how you wrote it... I liked that you danced instead of mourned... So sorry for you losing your friends. I too lost someone close nearly a year ago, my sister; one is never the same again, but you find ways to carry on, day by day. To celebrate Life as you say, and to celebrate the life of that person... Glad you are back!
