To My Friend Russell

Russell passed away on Friday 13th June 2008 in Poole hospital. I miss him. Time Is Meant To Heal (adapted/edited from a poem by Kim Thompson) You meant so much to all of us You were special and that's no lie You brightened up the darkest day And even the grey-est sky Many tears I have seen and cried They have all poured out like rain I know that you are happy now 'Cause you're no longer in pain. Two years on I remember you And what you used to say You made each of us smile And live to the fullest each day They say in time it gets easier I wonder if it's true Because even after all this time I still don’t have a clue I was not ready to say goodbye The disease just over took So on this day we remember you I take a second look Our friendship is forever Until death, did us part Although you're away in body You’re always in my heart Original version © Kim Thompson

The methodology has allowed me to maintain a helpful outlook of and fairly effective interaction with the world outside my front door. If I had not been offered the treatment I feel I may well not have survived to spread the word. Pictured: Marsha M.

An Alternative Viewpoint

Our real enemy is not the one living in a distant land whose name or policies we don't understand; The real enemy is a system that wages war when it's profitable, the CEOs who lay us off our jobs when it's profitable, the Insurance Companies who deny us Health care when it's profitable, the Banks who take away our homes when it's profitable. Our enemies are not several hundred thousands away. They are right here in front of us - Mike Prysner
