| I'll miss you, Brian... | |
| Posted By: Louis Wu <halo@bungie.org> | Date: 2/15/03 6:41 p.m. |
In Response To: *Ar-Isildur (Ar-Anarion) My son just came in and asked me why I was crying. I told him a good friend had died. I don't think that's fully true, though. I'm old enough to have lost friends, acquaintances, family. Sometimes I cry - but often I don't. I think I was crying not because Brian had died (I cannot even imagine the horror of this final stretch, and truly believe that wherever he is, he's better off now than he was 24 hours ago), but because of the unfairness of it all. As so many have pointed out, Brian never complained about his lot, never griped about the pain or the hassle of the treatments. He fought because there was no point in doing anything else - but he fought without letting the anger he must surely have felt for being singled out with this affliction spill into his online life here and elsewhere. He showed us nothing but optimism and bravery - and that's incredible in anyone, much less a 19 year old. (He was 16 when all this started.) I called Brian's hospital room a couple of weeks ago - and though he was in pain, and heavily drugged, he insisted upon taking the call. Even then, he was upbeat, refusing to allow the cancer to take his spirit as it was taking his health, and eventually his life. I will miss him. I'm glad I've had the chance to meet him, and his family - they have all made an impact on my world view, and remind me about what's good in the world when I feel cynical and negative towards humans. My grief for the loss of Brian is the worse for what could have been. | |
