I was reading a game message board when I came across a link to this paintball message board. Be prepared, it hit me by surprise and put a lump in my throat. I know God put this person to use and blessed the boy in the story. I'm not going to give any more details because I don't want to give anything away, but if you have time at least read the posts by Pdx.Sierra and fruit_loops. I am on page 36 of the thread and I have no idea where it will end.

This is the conclusion to the story, don't read it until you have read the first few posts from the first link. The first thread is over 1000 posts, so I finally tried to find the end of it and this was it.
Damn. Great link.
Nothing to say, except that it''s just great. Maybe not huge in the grand scheme of things, but its damn, damn cool.
I hope many scenes like that played out this last christmas.

Really touching, looks like I have some reading to do.

Seriously though, great story. It''s amazing to hear things like that happen.
Anyone summarize the ending? The topic is apparently closed. I read through about 40 pages worth, beginning and end, but saw mention that the boy went into a coma on the 3rd.
Kriminy, most of the time I hate people but sometimes -- like now -- I love them.

And man that dog looks like he's having a good time, but that monkey is f*cking into it. This isn't his recreation; this is his life and he knows it in a way I will never know anything.
Arr! I could''ve just pretended he got the xbox and all was keen. Damn!
f*ck, I shouldn''t have come back into this thread. How very sad.

Bummer. Even if it''s ""just people you''ve met online"", it still gets to you.
