Prologue

Richard's publication of the original Thisisme.ca website was to share the triumph and tribulations of his battle with a form of malignant cancer that normally is found in an aged population and very rarely within his own age group. The young man whom you are about to meet within these WebPages showed an enormous abundance of warmth, love and hope throughout  his short life but never more so than his battle with this incurable cancer. This then, is his story in his own words.

 After you have read his story, take time to discover what this artistic soul  left behind in his art, his poetry and his music. He lived the endless promise of youth, and and left a deep void that will never be filled.
