Seems wrong that two of my recent blog posts have been about folks in the blogosphere that have passed on – but sometimes that’s the lot of life.
Last night, Brainhell, a blogger in California, passed away at home from complications related to ALS.
I first read his blog back in November or so when I was googling for something else. He had been diagnosed with ALS nearly four years prior to when I had started reading his blog – and he had been blogging about his medical issues even prior to that.
His blog as always honest, entirely authentic, and sometimes difficult to read. But he provided an open and candid view into a horrible disease – and did so with courage. His final words, according to his sister, were “It was fun….”
I’ll miss him.

Brainhell always wished to remain anonymous. I am surprised to see someone who will miss him defy his wishes. Maybe you just want the attention.
You’re right – though I wasn’t the one that revealed his identity.
I went ahead and removed from this post.
And I’m certainly not out for attention.
Thanks for dropping by

I went and read parts of his blog, that’s a really amazing story. Thank you, I hadn’t read it his blog.
