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.

Our world shines a little less bright today by ndaero93

I am so sorry for Kimi and for your family, and you are in my prayers past, present, and future.

I'm not one for words, and the sentiments expressed throughout this thread echo what an amazing fighter Kimi was and an inspiration to all of us.

Over the years I've shared what we've learned of Kimi - from her fight, to the Girl Scouts, to making phone holders, to her relationship with Konrad. She attacked each day, each project, each fight with the vigor that few if anyone I've ever known.

I truly believed the and prayed that the culmination of this battle would be seeing pictures of Kimi on her wedding day or even more so as that famous actress/dancer/singer who we could all say "we knew when".

You and your family have been as amazing as she has through this fight. The battle may have ended for Kimi in this world, but as others have stated, Heaven shines brighter with her presence.

God Bless.
