[ OT ] I 'd like to take a moment to appreciate Sir Terry Pratchett .

I first started reading Truckers - it's so far apart from discworld i forget that this is still him. my dad had a few of these discworld books and i read them... and read them... paused to buy new books... and read them... 
 
 Growing up with discworld was an education; i only understood some of the jokes third time round and i'll admit it i laughed out loud even in public. My parents never understood, they used to think i was laughing at them... 
 
 He has shaped how i think about things, i am indebted. 
 
 I could not be more thankful for his rich, lovingly crafted legacy or more sorrowful for his passing. 
 
 “... no-one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away... The span of someone's life, they say, is only the core of their actual existence. ” 
 
 I know this quote says about ripples fading away, but i can truly say he never will.
