Our friend and colleague Albus (Upsetting content)

A sad world, sometimes, my glass is half full - pretty much 24/7;

there's no point in being any other way.

The good side is SCOPE is helping us to protect Albus, his family, and us all from fraud.

I think and feel now, I am coming to terms with the loss of Albus, but then I did not know him well;

or did I in a way?

If I, and others who did not know him well, knew his compassion and nurturing encouragement, his going the extra mile, then we knew the most important thing about him.

There is nothing worse than a life wasted, when so much compassion is possible, and definitely Albus had great compassion and sensitivity. He thus did not waste his life, he brought out the best in everyone, he soothed our distresses, and made us fit for recovery time and again. Such skillful means is not a small thing - it is a great and good thing.
