A brave 13-year-old American boy famous for his battle with brain and spinal cancer has been announced by his family to have passed away on February 23, 2026.

He was sworn in as an honorary police officer at over 1,000 law enforcement agencies nationwide.

Now this one really makes me sad.

Sure, it's sad when someone like Robert Duvall, Eric Dane and others pass, but they had long lives.

This young man didn't. He didn't get to experience a long life like the others. Cancer made sure of that.

But despite having cancer, this young man made the best of a crappy situation. He fought the cancer bravely and  lived his short life the way he wanted. And I commend him for that.

My heart goes out to his family and they have my sincerest condolences.

My adopted APOPO rat, Ronin, passed away from sudden illness.  He held the Guiness World Record for most mines detected by a rat.  

QuoteBy the end of his life, Ronin had detected 111 landmines and 16 items of unexploded ordnance. In total, he helped clear 232,060 square meters of land in Cambodia, the equivalent of nearly 900 tennis courts. Because a HeroRAT works for just 30 minutes per day, covering roughly the area of one tennis court during that time, this achievement reflects years of careful, consistent searches.

Rest in piece, little Ronin.  

I am now sponsoring Imeldo, a rookie that just completed his certification in December.  He's now on the team in Cambodia.

I had no idea.  That little guy is now even more a hero to me than Remy from Ratatouille.

Chuck Norris didn't die, he just took over the Grim Reaper's job.

The Grim Reaper, however, is now listed as MIA.

It's like that old Far Side cartoon where it goes "Welcome to Heaven, here's your harp. Welcome to Hell, here's your accordion.", except it's not an accordion, it's a punch to the face by Chuck Norris.

Found this on Facebook and figured it was fitting to the current conversation.
