Wow. It's rough knowing that someone you consider a friend, even an online friend, may be about to die...
If things go well, I hope to see you here again, buddy.
If things don't go well, and there is an afterlife, may yours be AWESOME and full of beer and manly kilts.
If reincarnation is real...well, it ups my chances of hearing your words of wisdom again if you don't make it through the summer.
