Everyone say a prayer for Paul and his family. The world seems very strange sometimes, Paul is a great guy and will be in my thoughts.

This is very sad. Even when you never meet a person in, well, person, you become used to their presence on message boards. My heart goes out to Paul's family and friends.

This is so very sad, and we feel so helpless and at a loss to even know what to say. It makes you wonder, if I knew I was going to be taken ill, would I live my life any different? Would I treat people better? Would I read all those books I've piled up meaning to get to them later? Would I go across the street and meet that neighbor I ignored for years? Would I call the people I didn't necessarily like as well as those I did? Sad and terrible situations make me think, what if this was me?
Look at all the times that people have interacted with Paul and had back and forth discussions and laughs. Would you have changed anything or treated him differently if you knew this was coming? Probably he wouldn't have wanted you too. He probably would not have wanted to burden anybody with the sad news, or to be treated with kid gloves.
This is a wake up call for all of us. Life is short and each life is precious. We are blessed to have met each other here in this special corner of cyberspace. It hurts a lot to know this young life is hanging in the balance and that they say there is no hope. Let each of us hold a vigil in our hearts and if you pray, pray for Paul and for his family and those he loved best. Our 'family' is being deeply shaken and we will never be the same. Let us be better, and let love be our watchword.

You know, Paul really, REALLY loved the Transformers. Probably as much as I do.
I was looking forward to sitting down, hanging out sometime (maybe if I ever made it to the UK) and talking about this shared childhood joy. It may seem a silly thing to be upset about, but I am. There's someone who shares a large part of what makes me me who isn't going to be around anymore. I guess this is the expanded version of my previous post.

I haven't really known him, all I remember is he wrote he walked from Kings Cross to Croydon one night, and I found it very funny.
The thought that someone so young could be so ill is truly heartbreaking.
I Wish his family and close friends all the love and support imaginable to help them through this time.

Life is too fragile and far too short. It is heartbreaking to hear the "no recovery possible" - Paul certainly seems to be someone who has enriched the life of many others. Hold him in the light.
