Try not to dwell on what he didn't get to do and what you didn't get to ask. Instead try to think about how lucky we were to see him so recently and to spend just a little bit of time with the man. I'm inspired by how many people he reached and that he was brave enough to do what he did with his work. It's better to have published 11 books than to have never lifted the pen, right?

So many fans and readers never got to meet the man and look into his cool calm eyes and make his acquaintance. We should cherish the time he shared with us, and remember him fondly.

I'm sure he's smiling knowing how much his work meant to you and the solace it brings.
