    Default My stepdad passed away this morning.

    My stepdad passed away this morning after a hard fought battle with ALS. He died at home, surrounded by family.

    I'm kinda crying right now, or I'd post a long message about this remarkable man. I will miss him.

    Words generally mean little to me, but I'll try anyway: I'm really sorry to hear about this. I already got my prayer on for you before I wrote this, so I hope your fam is doing well in dealing with this.
