The Boy who's skin fell off

I swear, some of the medical conditions on this planet could have been invented by a sadist. This definately is one of them 🙁


You know, we go on about how sh**ty our life is, and how we get upset about not being able to
buy something we want or the guy cutting us off on the road, or…….other trivial stuff. Then we
see the pain and sufferings of others around us, particularly in disadvantaged countries. That is
when “we” realise how lucky we are not to have to wory about our skin falling off and other
horrific anomalies affecting those deemed as ”Anomalous”.

And, I can feel for you Halibag. Wishing you looked like that makes me wonder how you look
now!!

No such luck

Oh to have the grace, charm and personal hygene of Father Jack. Quite right about the program it is as uplifting as it is difficult to take in parts.

Hi
Its on the community channel on cable now and is the most moving program I have ever seen. I have seen it before but am watching again. I defy anyone not to watch trough tears. Its about Johnny kenedy and shows his planning of his funeral and attaining a dream of flying. Its one of those programs that even if its not that pleasant at times you feel a duty to watch.

Back to see the end

You are right, it is sad and uplifting at the same time. It makes you think about mortality and
life. It makes you wish the sufferings of the human beings would end and we all could live a
better and peaceful life, while we are on this planet.

Furthermore, I sure hope the pic in your avatar is not of yourself. If so, you have my sympathy ^_^
