I just got home from work and have read this thread thoroughly. The surprise being expressed by the XMarkers also stands as a testament to this young man.

Clearly he didn't complain, he didn't whine and he didn't let his illness get in the way of living his life. That, my friends, takes a special person.

I hope when it's my time to cross over, I can do so with such strength and dignity.

Beannachd Dia dhuit.
