Some of you may have seen the post from Tory (Kyra) regarding her husband, Matt (Firestorm Phoenix).

For those of you whom have not, I am sorry to give this difficult news.

Matt has been admitted into hospice today. He has been battling cancer that started in his knee and progressed to other areas. He and Tory fought this with everything they had, going through surgeries and treatments never giving up no matter what new obstacle was thrown at them.

Unfortunately, this change came suddenly. Matt is now resting comfortably, but it sounds like he is no longer very aware of his surroundings, and does not have much time left.

All we can do now is give love and emotional support.

I know Tory is a very private person whom is now carrying the heaviest burden a spouse can know, and since I was grateful to anyone else who voluntarily spread the difficult news for me when I was handling Evil Moogle's final affairs, I decided to make this post for those who know them.

I'm so sorry, Tory and Matt...
If storming could save you these miseries, the sun would never see the earth again. ♥

"Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again;
Though lovers be lost love shall not;
And death shall have no dominion."

Thank you for posting this. I'm very very to share that he passed away, peacefully, in his sleep early this morning.

Thanks for stopping by, Kyra. I hope you can find some comfort, somewhere, sometime. He was an admirable person, one of the select few here that rarely stooped to levels beneath him. His real life personality, from what I gleaned being Facebook friends for about 15 years or something, came off as open and compassionate-- a guy people would appreciate to have as a friend. Rest in peace, FP.
