	My handsome prince, my thief of hearts lost his struggle at age 9-1/2 YO. A month prior he was diagnosed with Megaesophagus for which there is no cure or treatment. Despite trying various meds and vertical feeding, he could not hold down food or water. He went downhill fast. On October 7, 2009, I held him in my arms as he donned his angel wings.
