This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I'm sorry for your loss. by jakam31
Jonny's story was new to my life, but after reading his blog and many of the stories that were posted around here I was touched, inspired, and moved by his courage and strength.
We should all take a lesson from this and walk a little more upright in his memory. There is no doubt he is with God now and his light will forever shine bright on all of us.
Last night I prayed for Jon - I asked God to ease his pain or take it away all together. My intention was healing, but God's intention was having Jon serve him in heaven. I am both apologetic and relieved. I am so sorry he passed, yet relieved he is no longer in any pain.
God Bless you and your family. God Bless Jon.
mkovac was right - Warrior, indeed.
