...and may the last embrace of the mother welcome you home." - Robert Jordan
Once upon a time, I wrote this journal entry.
Well, it's happened; Robert Jordan died yesterday.
His Wheel of Time series has been a... very large... part of my life. I started it in 5th grade, reading books 1 through 5 as we moved from Pittsburgh to Bucks County. I used to read it to my mom on long car rides. I was reading the series when I started high school, still reading it my final year of high school, and still reading it my first year in Milwaukee. He was working on book 13 of the series, the final book, when he passed away. I don't have words to describe the impact those books have had on my life, really.
R.I.P., RJ. Thank you for writing these books.

On a much lighter note, I had a really wonderful visit to Milwaukee
this weekend, and came away with a LAPTOP. And now I must go play with
it.
