aw, fly sweetly, dear hambone--at the bridge, you'll only have to stick your head behind things when you really, really, want to! and when you want to get unstuck, you'll have so very many of our beloved bridgekits there to help ease you out.
GLOW to guide you on your newest adventure. thank you for being such a good friend to the humans whose live you touched. and GLOW to heal their hearts, as they fill the hole you left behind with the memories you made together.
