A great journalist, and my longtime friend, Sean Holton lost his 28-month battle with brain cancer this week, but not without leaving behind a journal of his struggle that inspired family, friends, and colleagues -- plus thousands who had never even met him, especially those who are dealing with cancer in their own lives. His blog says it all, beginning with the first diagnosis in August, 2009. With Sean's trademark humor he subtitled his blog, "How Sean Holton Learned To Stop Worrying And Just Have Brain Cancer Instead." You didn't have to know Sean to appreciate his words, which is why he is so special and well worth reading: Same Time Tomorrow, by Sean Holton.
