In an article here, Paul talks about his son Mark's surgery.

As a father, I cannot even begin to think of what he must have been going through.

How brave, and helpful are both Paul and Mark.

Brave enough to go through it, and helpful enough to inform the world about it, reducing the anxiety of others about to undergo the same procedure, or those who might have fears about the same.

God bless Paul and his family.

PS. I met Paul at WinHEC in May, and, apart from being a BoSox fan like most 'Chouds, he seems OK.
