Loc: United Kingdom.
I lost my girlfriend, Ntombezanele Dube, to natural causes last Monday night. She is from Zimbabwe. I am going to be flying out there sometime this week. So I will be away for a little while.

As you probably know, Zimbabwe is a difficult place in terms of water purity, so I am taking the new Chlorine Dioxide tablets marketed by Life Systems. 10 min contact time. Should be an interesting test.

Talk to you all soon.

Leigh.

Leigh, that's hard, hard news.

You have a right to hurt, and to grieve. Let it out, and let it take its course. This is what it means to be fully human.

Down that long road, there will be room to grow and build in the present, while honouring and remembering those passed.

If it's appropriate, I'd like to raise my glass: Absent friends! May we be worthy of them!
