wisdom from the lyrical scientist

Hey everyone! Tylers comment quoting Bob Dylan has inspired me to leave you with more of the "lyrical scientists" words. Words that not only do I find pertinent to JJ's current situation, but words I try to live by everyday. " I will not go down under the ground. 'Cause sombody tells me that death's coming round. And I will not lay myself down to die. When I go to my grave my head will be high. Let me die, in my footsteps, before I go down under the ground." To me these words do not mean that death is inevitable, but rather should be fought with every fiber, thought, and means at our disposal. These words hold so true to JJ because he could have given up during the fight of this horrific disease countless times. JJ has never given up this fight, and he never will. I think he has inspired everyone he has met and known during this fight, with his gentle courage, and passion for love and life. I don't know what anyone else uses for the definition of hero, but he has my vote any day of the week. My sincere thanks to everyone who has encouraged, visited, prayed for, donated to, and most of all loved my hero, my brother.
