RIP Bear Cronick. You’re on your journey now. No more struggle, at home with Uncle Bob and Carol and Dave and Chris and all who went before you. Glad I got to say goodbye, can’t imagine my life if we had never met. Tears are spirit leaving, and you were such a huge spirit of resistance, the songs, the ceremonies, the culture, you always knew Bear would hold it down. Sweet journey warrior. Until next time.
