    One of the sweetest and genuine moments I've encountered in a while. Makes me think about the post today about "the anthropology of Facebook" and how this will change the way he remembers his mothers death.
Great point. He now has an online journal of sorts to go back to if need be or to share this experience with future generations.

I would guess that a number of people read those tweets and were comforted with their own loss and mourning. Good stuff.
