ILY KP. I'm so happy hes recovered, and doing better. I really hope that he gets to snowboard again. This story just makes me cry, especailly when they said if he didnt have his helmet on he wouldn't be alive. Even though I don't know him some reason his accident gave me a feeling I never had before, its like you feel so much sympathy, and just hope everyday that he gets well. ;]

@airmax334 Real nice..you just proved my point that you have absolutely no empathy. I'm confused why someone crying would offend you in anyway? Enough for you to tell them to kill themselves..you need a life.

[airmax334]

@bideeg5 it was so touching!! go kill yourself! was that touching u about 2 cry 2??

[bideeg5]

@airmax334 You must not have any empathy or the ability to feel for fellow humans. This was so touching, if someone wants to cry. Let them be.
