I understand. I cried like four times writing the article. I almost gave up several times (especially near the start), because the more I read about him, the more I realized I was utterly unqualified to do him justice with my words. The only thing that kept me going was how much I wanted to tell people his story.
The amount of comments I've received since, with people telling me how much of an impact his story had on them, it's been more touching, more humbling and more rewarding than anything I ever could have expected.
