The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.
I am not ashamed to admit that I cannot see this screen well because my eyes are clouded with tears. James Mattis and I developed a special relationship over a very short period of time and losing him so unexpectly is a loss for which I am totally unprepared and simply cannot accept. We were both looking forward to nurturing not only a business arrangement but a personal friendship that was full of mirth and joy. He was a Jew and I am a Buddhist but rather than letting this get in our way we used it as a building block of understanding. Now, one of the great regrets of my life will be that James and I did not get to sit down at Uncle Bill's Cantina, face to face, and solve the problems of the world.
James, where ever you may be I know you will be able to receive this message from me and it is this. As long as I am here on this plane of existence I am determined not to let your memory fade into nothingness. Stay tuned, brother. As usual, you may get a huge kick out of my antics. We are still together!
I'll see you later.
