My Babbling Brain

Miles Levin was determined to have his say in life, even with cancer ravaging his young body.

So when he died Sunday, six days before his 19th birthday, he had blogged a lifetime of thoughts and dreams, words that somehow pierced through cyberspace and moved tens of thousands of readers to respond.

He isn’t the only person to have written about a dying man’s journey, but his wit and wisdom and choice of words, captured the imagination of his readers.

His wisdom was sought by parents of dying children, those recovering from the brink of death, even ordinary people captivated by his enjoyment of life in the face of death.
