… a 13 year-old hispanic boy lost his life after being trapped in a house fire that maimed his brother and destroyed his family’s home. His mother found the courage to make an impossible decision under heart breaking conditions.
Remember that boy today.
I understand that this one traces back to Jade. So here we go: The Eighties Pop Act Test deems me: 45% Eighties Pop Act You are Phil Collins: When your friends were with you, you were the coolest, but on your own, you were a simpering crybaby. Go listen to Genesis. Wait just a goll’darn…
Today is International Women’s Day. I’m not sure that means much to anyone reading this. I’m not sure how much it means to me at the moment, though I suspect it should be a little higher on my radar than it is this year. A quick Google shows that Canada and England definitely have IWD…
I’m just easily led. This one from ArwensLight’s diary Which Alice in Wonderland character are you? You’re a tyrant. You like to boss people around for any reason you like, and you’re damn good at it. It may be because people are scared to Hell by you, because it certainly isn’t because of your charisma…
I’d emailed Dr. Fell the day before to ask about the stinging of the steroid cream when I applied it, and he wrote back to say he wanted to speak to me. Then I awoke yesterday morning to find two new eruptions of the rash, one on each thigh, each about half the size of…
Actually, it won’t be four years until Thursday. I’m not updating with any particular frequency these days though, so I thought I’d make mention of it now, when the mood stuck me and I had some free time. It’s only been four years, but I am not who I was. I started this diary because…
Regarding monstergirl’s question: I got the Kitten from Hell the end of last July. Clueless Wonder’s breakout started about a week and a half ago or so. While feline acne can be contagious between cats, it is highly unlikely I can blame this one on the KfH. As much as I’d like to. Cats have…
Ten years already? I still remember those days in sharp relief (in more senses than one)
I will indeed keep him and his courageous mother in my thoughts today.
I’ll be thinking of BOTH of you
I do think of him and of you often. My Jordy will be 23 next month. Guess they were the same age.
I can’t believe it’s been 10 years already. I’ll keep he and his family in my thoughts today, and wish you a "happy liver day".

Modern medicine⦠and compassionate people⦠take my breath away sometimes.
Hope you are well. Are you writing anywhere else??
Y.
I am, as I always do this weekend. I also did a few days ago. Did you hear the NPR story about the kidney transplant recipient who met his donor’s family? I thought of him and you then.
I think of you, the boy and his mother almost every day. Still, it’s hard to believe it’s been ten years. Where did the time go?
I thought of both you and him, and I salute you both.
