It quotes Maya Angelou, as follows: Quote: Love is that condition in the human spirit so profound that it allows one to survive and, better than that, to thrive with passion, compassion, and style. Just what I've been trying to say here.

Pulled the load from the truck. Sat down and tried to breathe in between pallets. Could not do it. When Steve and I finished, sat down before trying to help break down the pallets. Could not do it. Finally, it bcame evident even to an idiot like me that this was not going to improve. Punched out and took a cab home. (Left the corned beef, pasta, and salad for the crew.) Still having trouble breathing. Then, as I heard later, at 3PM the power went out during the storm, for the store and the the whole neighborhood. I know the feeling. It may be that Sat PM was my last waltz; if so, T.S. Eliot was right..."not with a bang but with a whimper" or some such. Not a ZZ Top exist.

Pockets - work pouch - I'd have managed it whether or not I even wanted it - it's the principle (and it's pasta) I may be about to stick my foot into my mouth but whatever. I'm sure you've heard it a thousand times already, people saying "there's nothing I can say or do yadda yadda" but I'm wondering if they say it because there really isn't anything or whether it's just because no-one knows what that 'anything' is for sure. WJ me thinks you're in a position to possibly knock that old adage out of the water - break it wide open. Is there anything that friends and family could say or do that might make your journey easier? _________________ Free speech is the whole thing, the whole ball game.

Honestly, wasn't much in the mod for eating at that point - just breathing in and out was sort of a priority. Everyone, and I do mean everyone (yes, you included, Sharyn) has done an incredible amount to help me along the way. Shirl has been dropping off groceries and prepared food from the night crew nearly every morning. My sister just spent three days down here, observing, settting up the OncDoc appointment for this week, along with lots of little stuff. The store crew has been telephoning, sending cards, picture of my favorite Sheltie, all sorts of stuff. I can be a little overwhelming sometimes but it all helps. Actually, I feel a bit better today. Yeah, I've had a ton of help.

Heather and I just want you to know that we have that photo displayed on our mantel above the wood stove with all of our other family photos. When friends and family ask who's that in that photo? We respond "that's our brother Bill"! Bill that photo will remain on our mantel forever, as well as the memories of who you are and what you did for both Heather and I during our short time together on this planet! Every protest, every picket line, every time we challenge a shitty boss, we will think of you Bill! Thank you Bill for all the good you have done for the working class. We love you now, we will love you forever! In Solidarity Scott & Heather _________________ People oppressed will eventually rise!

Friday April 20 9:45pm Mr Bill was released from the struggle of cancer. Although he had used the illness as a tool to encourage others to help themselves, he fraught the good fight and lost. I do trust that he will live on in each of us he touched. Bless you all for your loving support, he was honored and grateful, I was blessed and forever changed by him. Shirley Although Bill's Uncensored Journey has come to it's end, he will be remembered by all who had the great pleasure of knowing him and by all that he gave. WJ has left the building! _________________ Free speech is the whole thing, the whole ball game. Free speech is life itself. - Salman Rushdie
