RIP Thread

Frank Gifford died. Or as I know him from watching years of daytime tv with my mom, kathie lee's husband.
 
It has been nearly a year since your passing, Sophia, and it still hurts me so. You were a pioneer, an advocate, even to some an extremist. You wanted to change the face of what you did. You'd experienced first hand the damage that force and abuse could cause. You dedicated your life to trying to stop it forever. You spent years researching and proving them all wrong. You showed from both a scientific and an applied standpoint that kindness was so much more beneficial than force. You put so much heart and love helping those who thought they were beyond help. You didn't pretend to be a celebrity. You didn't put yourself on a pedestal. In every word you were kind, humble and wise.

I am so sorry that the world is so cruel.

Rest in peace Dr. Sophia Yin, who committed suicide September 30th, 2014. I lost a hero that day.
 
I want to wish Ink Master winner, Scott Marshall, a good RIP. Sure you were a dick and sneaky, but you were also very talented and I'm sure you were a good husband.
