I was oddly upset when I heard of the death of a 5-year-old boy I watched a program about on TLC. It was on over the summer entitled "Face Eating Tumor". His name was Novemthree and he was 3 years old(and turned 4) when the whole process began. He lived in Batam and flew with his father a really long way so that he could get the proper care. He had numerous painful surgeries and he got fevers throughout his ordeal. In the end, his face went from night to day. It was absolutely incredible. He was the cutest little boy ever and he always kept in good spirits. Even when he resembled something out of a science fiction movie, you could tell that underneath the swollen misshaped face was a sweet face. And that it was.

The program was on again tonight, so I figured I'd catch the end of it again. I was just about to change the channel when a message came up on the screen. It said that he'd passed away September of 2005 due to respiratory problems. This poor little boy and his whole family went through so much-happiness, sadness, worry, excitement; all of it just went down the drain.

So, rest in peace, Novemthree. I wish I could reach out to your family in some way. Just so they knew that there was someone in America rooting for you.
