Well done.

The moment at the end when it shutters from his frail face near death to his youth again brought a tear to my eye. Not necessarily because it is Hitchen's. I think that sort of technique for most people I will always find emotionally calling.

@Runningjoels Wow. Is this real? No, you're kidding, right?

@MetrazolElectricity He was no stoic; (Recall the waterboarding incident? Or his hedonistic lust for booze and women?) Rather, he was a self-confessed "leathery old cynic". In the same speech where he says this, he admits also that if there was anything in the world that could cause one to believe in a Divine Being, it is holding a newborn baby in one's hands. He then adds: what quickly detracts from this idea is the notion of a command to then cut at the infant's genitalia.

Earl Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk, upon learning of his condemnation to execution by Elizabeth I, Queen of England, is purported to have proclaimed that:
'The mark of a man is in the manner of his death'.
By this standard, Christopher Hitchens has earned recognition as having died intellectually honest and decent and inspiring a zest for living life to its fullest.
I loved Christopher and I will treasure my memories of him, always, until the day I die.
