Default Cancer Victim Says Good-Bye in His Blog

Many of you have probably already seen it, but I read about this earlier today and thought I'd share it here:

The last post - Penmachine - Derek K. Miller

I was certainly moved reading quite a bit of it, and hope that I never have to read anything like it from anyone here. Very sad, and I'm sure there's a few of you here (myself included) that have had to deal with a loved one being a victim to cancer.

I guess if nothing else it's definitely a good thing for his family, who can at least click on and read past thoughts from him, which span almost a decade. That's the one positive is that they have more than just photos and memories, they have somewhat of a "voice" to read as well.

Here's a link to his wife's blog, which is equally as sad:

What makes it all even much sadder is they're atheists. That wrecked some of the poignancy for me.

That made it more poignant IMO.

There's only two conclusions for Patriots fans on rookies. They are either a bust or being fitted for their bust in Canton.

For me it made it more tragic. They had (have) a completely worldly perspective. No wonder the wife feels totally lost now. I feel sorry for their kids, who no doubt lack any concept of spirituality. Sad stuff that's unnecessarily sadder.

That's a nice gift to leave behind for his family.
