I've been following his blog through the entirety of his daughter's trials and tribulations, and I've come close to tears pretty much every time I read a post in-depth.

I can't even begin to reach the level of empathy and sympathy required to do Eric justice, but all I can say is sorry. I don't even know him that well but I feel like he's done so much for my career as a front-end developer that it just pains me as someone who is such a beacon for web gets such a tragic turn of events, probably the worst any parent could go through.

I'm sorry.
