Message from the Editor: The following was written by Detroit Bad Boys user V., who you should all be familiar with. He is one of the longest-tenured and most vital members of our community. \u2014 Sean<\/p>\n
As those who know me personally are aware, I\u2019ve been fighting Stage 4 cancer the last almost 5 years.<\/p>\n
While the labs had shown some success with the most recent treatments, thing went south really quickly last weekend. As I told Joe, it returned while quaffing a few cold crews and a couple of Red Bulls along the way.<\/p>\n
I entered hospice care yesterday. I\u2019m not sure how much time I have left, it could be a few days, it could be longer. My partner will let Joe know of my passing.<\/p>\n
I am comfortable and lucid and probably will be until my passing.<\/p>\n
A couple of things that are important to me:<\/p>\n
1) Please don\u2019t reply until this makes the main page (pretty sure it will).<\/p>\n
2) Both myself and partner (she) are well off financially. If you want to remember me, there\u2019s a couple of charities that you can donate to, but it is absolutely not necessary. I\u2019ll list those soon.<\/p>\n
You need to do this on your own. I know that there are a couple of you with good intentions, but please do not substitute what you think is right for my wishes.<\/p>\n
I apologize in advance if I sound harsh about this, but I need to be clear in the most unambiguous terms possible.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Message from the Editor: The following was written by Detroit Bad Boys user V., who you should all…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":528520,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3773],"tags":[7,296,188,3860,5842,6,297],"class_list":{"0":"post-528519","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-detroit-pistons","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-detroit","10":"tag-detroit-pistons","11":"tag-detroitpistons","12":"tag-general","13":"tag-nba","14":"tag-pistons"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115874350128200022","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=528519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/528519\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/528520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=528519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=528519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=528519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
