Still a bit too hard for me to look at... but I don't want to forget, either.

Waaay back when I was a much younger and foolish gryphon, I was blessed to meet a wonderful ladygryph who could put up with my idiocy and actually loved me for all that I was, even if it was partially because she loved how easily provoked I was. (I know that probably doesn't sound good, but well, if you grew up with MY parents, you knew how to recognize teasing out of love....but that is another story entirely.)

Lindsay was taken away from me, and the world, entirely too early. But her influence on this world has remained till this day, and will hopefully stay forever on.
