The Personal Blog of Dr. John H. Watson
25th August
Epitaph
Suspended in time. Halted in action. Even as you read this, followers, I'm still having difficulty accepting the circumstances of Sherlock's passing. Regardless of all your kind words, (and supportive 'I believe in Sherlock Holmes' signs posted everywhere), it has been a very trying time. Life goes on and I am doing my best to sally forth. Only, I will admit, it is harder than expected. Could there be something I should do? Kind of a therapeutic effort to move on?
Choosing to write again on my blog seems like the best avenue, and I would like to express how I feel about the person to whom I owe so much. Out of the blue, he offered me a chance at a renewed purpose in life. Many may think he simply chased death and crime through some morbid sense of curiosity. Evidently, those people did not know the consulting detective at all.
He dedicated his life to SOLVING mysteries… not creating them. Only those who had the patience to uncover this truth, would understand. My days at his side were filled with impressions of his brilliance, caring and generosity. Ever shall you be first in all my thoughts and the message above is now clear to me… to just believe.
