The light...

hey,

So I ran into Patrick (the ward clerk with pseudo mohawk) in the ED Friday AM. Harrison actually lived down the street from him and their families are friends. He says OJ and Stephanie are doing well and have a ton of support from family and friends.

He wanted me to tell all the residents that it meant a lot to him personally to see so many residents at the funeral. We spoke at length about Harrison and all that he went through, all the beads of courage, all the procedures, tests and chemo. I was sorta half expecting him to start getting misty-eyed as he kept saying over and over how cool he thought it was that we took the time from our busy schedules to give OJ and Stephanie our love and support.

It reinforced to Patrick that Harrison touched many lives during his short, but love-filled life. Elio gave me a good quote the other day, "The light that burns twice as bright, burns half as long."

take care,
