One of the thousands of comments left on Victor's post was from actress Selma Blair, who revealed in February that she had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in August of last year.
"I am in treatment. Away from my son. And I know how fragile life is for the greatest light bearers," she wrote. "He will not be forgotten at our home in our hearts. Arthur had his first real role model. He talked to everyone about him. And his family and his grandma and sister and everything we read last year. Arthur wanted to know as much as he could."
"Your son just had soulful and kind layers that were revealing more and more of what an amazing creation he is. He always will be," she continued. "I can't touch your grief. I will fall. I wish I could. I wish I could carry some. It would be an honor. A true honor. Alas, a parent wakes alone with their child in the unknown it seems. But he lived so many lives in this one. And you all made a great one. I am sorry. I am sorry. I am here. If I ever can do anything. Sending love."
