A courageous man

Hi everyone, I have to deviate from my usual chronicle of relating about my injuries and recovery. Michael James Keenan is surely was a courageous man. I don't know if I could have done what he did, rushing into a burning house to save a dog. For his efforts, he received 80% burns. He died today, because his body couldn't handle the damage that happened to him, because of his heroic efforts. He was a San Francisco artist and from what I've read, he had an incredible love of life, and it's was taken away today, because he wanted to save a friend's pet. It's a damn shame that he couldn't recover from his injuries. I only know how hard it was for me to recover from my 85% burns and how much it hurts me to hear he didn't make it. I only wish I had understood how serious his injuries were. There was a law passed that forbid people who were not to trained in some sort of psychiatry from talking to recovering patients, because I would have wanted to talk to him. This is my own fault and I wish I didn't have to think about why I didn't go see this man. This realization hurts me and in the future, I won't hesitate again. I just think the law they passed, that insisted you had to be a trained professional to be able talk to somebody in recovery, it is a cruel law, because that is the only reason I hesitated going to see this courageous man and I'll not allow this to happen again. Who better can understand what a burn patient is going though if not another burn survivor? I am very sorry to hear of his passing and I'm having a very hard time finding the words to properly express myself, I am very sorry about that too.
