So great news! Science is amazing.

We have such a promising future ahead, if only we can manage not to screw things up in the mean time.

Default Remembering our friend Jonathan Pitre

RIP Jonathan. Can't imagine what this courageous kid went through.

Quote:
Jonathan, 17, passed away after a life-long battle with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a rare genetic skin condition.

He spent his entire life in intense pain from EB, yet still managed to carry a positive attitude that will never be forgotten by those his story touched.

Some people have incredible strength than I think I can muster at times.

Tough to look through.

Jesus Christ.........

I hadn't heard of this before. This is one of the saddest things I've ever read. I can't even begin to wrap my head around it. This one hit hard.

Rest in peace you little warrior.

Ah geez, that's absolutely tragic. I was hoping he could pull through after I'd heard that his marrow transplant was successful, but there's just so many other serious complications to his condition. What an absolute hero.

What an incredibly courageous boy. I saw a snippet yesterday on TSN and my heart sank for him and his family. May he now rest in peace and be free of all suffering and pain, in a much better place. Makes think of all the petty things I deal with and complain about.
