1. Good for him

glad he will attempt to not waste his time being bitter. I must take an extraordinary strength to not be bitter after seeing 32 years of your life wasted.

2. Actually had his life stolen -- well, I'm bitter about that

Happened (and continues to happen) too often. Hope he can enjoy the remainder of his life and get to know his family.
