at least "rational" comparatively in Congress and was quite young when he left.

At this stage, I am wishing he lived in a state that allowed for a peaceful and more pain-free end to his suffering (when the time comes). Until then, may he continue to find purpose and peace in his efforts.



On EDIT: I read the article and am very impressed with his ability to move through this horrific experience with such humor (however dark) and seeming positivity. I wish him the proverbial miracle that he deserves and that he can continue to find positive purpose in life despite the pain and trauma he has been dealt. But, yes, when that time comes, I hope he can be as pain-free as possible and possibly in a state that allows an end to the worst suffering.
