This kid was a fighter, and by all accounts fun and funny too...
And a fan of the core, how could they possibly not do this.
And I really need to dust off my lap top apparently.

Ghosts are a good warm up when you're practicing to fight lava monsters.

Lava monsters that hate our freedoms.

Too bad he didn't have more time, kid could have taught a lot of adults about the important things in life. Every time I hear the song "will I dance for you Jesus" or whatever I think of Brett and you evil bastard Farkers. You are some decent people under the layers of nastiness, well except for acanuck.

It takes a strong kid to make it through what he made it through. It takes a strong person to stand by a dying child. I'm grateful for anyone and everyone who goes out of their way to ease the pain of a dying child and his/her family. It really does make a difference.

Maybe it's because a colleague of mine just lost another one of his kids (8 month'old and 5 yr old, respectively) to some unfixable blood disorder, and I was in the military at one time, the image of a marine standing guard outside the room of a little kid stricken by a disease modern science can't grapple..... I'm reduced to tears......

Cute. Glad the corps is capable of doing _something_ other than embarrassing the nation on the international stage, even if it doesn't actually help.
