My Brother Blake AKA Buckwirth

Blake doesn't know me - in fact, none of you do - and that's why I've deliberated for a couple of days over whether to write this or not. I've pretty much always preferred the possibility I'll regret the things I've done than the things I haven't, though, so here goes.

Blake, you've made such a difference to me without even knowing it. I've been lurking on these boards for months, trying to find hope, comfort and support wherever I can. I'm not a religious type, so I find that comfort in facts and figures, in science. I have sought out your posts and the wisdom you've shared, and you've helped, so much, with your ability to balance pragmatism with positivity, hope with common sense.

I've greatly appreciated your great intelligence and compassion, your sharp logic and dry humour, but what has amazed me most has been your bravery in the face of what must now seem the inevitable.

I can't do much more than thank you here, but I promise I will remember you. I only wish I'd had the chance to get to know you.
