There was never a man the like of Bill. If ye see 'un striding the 'ill, ye know 'tis a man by 'is strong, long stride; and if ye see 'un leapin' an' screein' down th' 'ill, ye know 'tis a man; and if we see 'un in t' quarry, ye know 'tis a strong man. He’s a man that can lift a stone as big as a horse, and he’ll do it with a laugh, as if it were naught but a feather. When he speaks, it’s like thunder rollin’ over the hills, and when he laughs, it’s like the sound of a river rushin’ over the rocks. He’s got a heart as big as the sky, and a spirit that can’t be broken. I’ve seen him stand up to the fiercest of storms, and he’ll just smile and say, 'Bring it on!' He’s the kind of man that makes you proud to be alive, and when he walks into a room, it’s like the sun has come out. There’s a strength in him that you can’t help but admire, and a kindness that makes you feel safe. He’s a man of the earth, and he knows it well. He’s a man that you can count on, no matter what. And that’s why I love him.
