Leiko
Leiko by @michwhit (Michelle White)

To my friend, who I only knew as "Leiko" in chat. Today I learned he had cancer at 16 years of age and that it's terminal. He came in chat to say goodbye, to go get special care until his time is up. I hardly knew him, but he always said hello to me. He made me laugh and he made me smile just by saying "Hey Return, its me Leiko!" when all those jerks in chat didn't acknowledge me.

Often he RPed as a wolf, or had a wolf name. I read in a journal that he wished to be a wolf in his next life. So I drew this wolf pup. This is for you Leiko... I wish you well on your journey.

Poor guy.... It's hard to hear someone getting so ill at such a young age... Let him be protected in the rest of his journey and I wish him well he will be freed.

It's always sad to hear that someone so young must leave so early.

ah man... it's never easy to deal with death, especially at that age. I too hope the next life is better for him.
