This journal is to tell you that the person you know as Spectral died last night of adult acute myeloid leukemia. He asked that I get a letter from his bureau and type it in.
He asked me to put what was in the letter directly without changing anything into this journal. I am sorry to say that we cannot comply with everything he asked as his name cannot be published for reasons that surround his previous duties.
In the time I got to know him, he was always an honourable man who was in intense pain at all times but who told me he was inspired to go back and look at what he was trained for and to see if he could not, in some way contribute to this site. I was initially disapproving of this site as I was under the impression that it was an alternative lifestyle site. As a care professional that would be wrong in my mind. When I typed his log-in I was calmed and marvelled at the scope of art that Spectral had made his favourites.
Here is his wish that he asked me to do for him:
" I've asked this to be entered here because, by now I am starting a new journey; a journey that has no map and I have no knowledge of and no compass, either. The last week has been somewhat distressing but that is of no importance now.
As I write this, it's raining ouside but I bloody well hope that the sun is shining when Uta puts this in!
Thank you for allowing me to rediscover a part of myself that I thought I had lost. My sincerest gratitude to everyone. I'm lucky that Kahea agreed to take care of my house and the 'family' in NZ. He's so blasted taciturn when he said to me: Turn your face to the sun and the shadows fall behind you.
Anyway, I wanted to write more but felt it would bore the tits off a donkey and sound like an Oscar acceptance speech.
My only regret is that I never met any of you and that I didn't finish my blasted book either!
...when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
L"

Well Spectral, in your spectral journey, know that your work lives on (and so your spirit). I am looking forward to browsing through your submissions.
I only wish I'd have discovered this sooner.

This is just a message I'm sending to all people that are about to write chapters for the book (open-flanker's project)
I figure seen as we're all in on it, we should at least say hello to each other.
So anyway, I hope this finds you well, and though time sadly evades me at the moment, I promise to return to look over some of your work later
take care mate
