He took my breath away every single day with his strength and courage.<br \/>\nFor 4 years I\u2019ve been strong while silently weeping, now I\u2019ve lost the comfortable feeling that he\u2019ll be around forever and I\u2019m heartbroken.<br \/>\nEvery part of me, everything around me, anything I ever did and will ever do is connected to him and I desperately miss him. I\u2019ve lost my friend and my reason and I will never be whole again.<br \/>\nI was privileged to have the honour of being his brother.<\/p>\n<p>From everyone here at theonering.net, our love, prayers and best wishes are with you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve just heard the sad news of the passing of Royd&#8217;s brother Mike who has been battling ALS&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":82,"featured_media":88023,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[22,156,159,152,131],"tags":[2118],"class_list":["post-96786","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-headlines","category-torn-announcements","category-torn-community","category-tolkien","category-tolkien-family","tag-royd-tolkien"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/RoydTolkien02a1.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1tLoH-pb4","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/82"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=96786"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96786\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":96789,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/96786\/revisions\/96789"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/88023"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=96786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=96786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=96786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
