SOUTH AFRICA---South Africans lit candles outside the hospital where anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela lay Wednesday night amid a report that the former president was on life support. An official briefed on his condition said he was on life support, but government spokesman Mac Maharaj declined to comment on the report, citing doctor-patient confidentiality. Mandela, 94, considered the founding father of South Africa's multiracial democracy, has been hospitalized since June 8 for a recurring lung infection. [link]

A Death Watch is hard on those being left behind, but perhaps this will make the outpouring of grief more manageable. This lose breaks my heart, but he has made such an impact. I thank G-D, I did get a chance to see his speak in a stadium in Detroit during graduate school. I will always remember that moment. May his life as well as his death be a blessing.
