Coming To Terms with Dan Girardi’s Tenure as a Ranger

“A real love story is sometimes exhausting. A romance is deliberately constructed to yield a certain result; the ambiguities are trimmed out, so it's neater and more pleasing to our hearts. But you don't live a love story, you live a life.” - Melissa Pritchard

I’ve read a handful of tributes to Dan Girardi and, with no disrespect intended, they left me feeling uneasy.
