In my younger days I would've said, " Wow , pretty sad ". Now I read stuff like this and I well up inside , my eyes start to water a little, then I get up and take a walk so nobody see's me all watery eyed. Now , if you tell anybody this, I swear I'll tell'em you're lying.
But it is sad and a wonder why some of the best kids with these gifts , seem to succumb to serious health issues. It just seems to be such a great loss for anyone that knew them and for society itself.
