Yah as a father I totally feel that family. Just knowing your child is slowly dieing and there is nothing you can do about it. Very sad

. . . but at least for a day, or even just a few hours he could take his mind off his illness . . . man that sucks . . . I wonder if he's on a transplant list or if it's even an option? . . . Can't wait to get home to hug my son.

This stuff is why I'm proud to be a 49ers fan. -It's not about the trophies, records, or championships... it's the goodwill, heart, and class of the team towards its fans that makes each game worth watching (from week to week).

Brandon also has an advanced stage of terminal liver cancer. His father, Andy, said doctors “are not optimistic that he will be with us for much longer.” Andy also said that “because of a nearly decade long playoff drought, (Brandon) is bitter and very unhappy and has been very depressed and hopeless."
