In memory to Bill Hamilton

It isn't often that one finds a virtual friend like Bill Hamilton and losing him now really hits home hard. I met Bill in the COPD group, where he always had a friendly word for every one. Yes, and even though we had completely different approaches to this illness and how to deal with it, we clicked never the less and regularly exchanged thoughts. He was the first and up till now only commenter on this blog of mine.

I herewith salute you, Bill Hamilton. Your humor and zest for life was an inspiration I will sorely miss. I do not know when I will join you where you are now, but it sure will be joyful time to meet you in person.

For those of my readers interested to get to know this person who coped with his terminal illness in a special way and who was appreciated by so many others suffering from COPD, just visit his blog.

Yes, I also suffer from COPD. But in contrast with those in the group, I believe in natural medicines and only see a doctor when things get real critical. Up till now I go without any oxygen or pharmaceuticals and intend to keep it that way as long as possible.
