In Response To: Feb. 15th. (Skavenger_s7)


: For those old timers like me....

: Every February, some small part of me awakens and I remember Brian. I guess
: what I mean is, I choose not to forget. I never seem to remember the exact
: date he left us, so about this time every year I go back and look. I guess
: this year I am a bit early. To some who know me, and especially my
: children, it may seem odd that a man I never met in person stays in my
: memory after all these years. I go back from time to time and read his
: posts, some news he was in and eventually some saved e-mails I have about
: Brian. Its not much really, but enough to remind me. I am just one person
: in a small town in the middle of nowhere. But, I just wanted to let
: whomever reads this know, that Brian counted for something. When Brian's
: life influenced another's in a positive way, he made a difference. As time
: goes on, I promise never to forget him.

Thanks, Skav.

It wasn't planned this way, but it's sort of fitting that the auction on our front page will end on the anniversary of the day he passed away. The Halo community will honor his death with a contribution to the organization set up to eradicate the disease which killed him.

I, too, promise never to forget him; to this day, he reminds me that you don't have to be a victim of your own circumstances; you can decide to live even in the face of death.
