That is a lovely tribute to a great human-being. I bought his book, and it is very touching and I have seen scenes such as he has in my own family. He lends a cushion for all to fall on in their pain. Beautiful, Dawn. :) Sandra xx

Yep, Sandra, and he has Parkinson's, yet he's returned to his therapy practice to continue helping little kids and their families. We need more like him in this world!
Thank you, my friend!!! I'm sorry to be so late replying. I'm not here a lot these days... At least not like I used to be.

Anyone who hasn't read Bill's work on here has missed a chance to know "Love is Alive." He is an outstanding loving individual who takes on the burdens of othesr even while he has heavy burdens of his own. I'm sure his book will be a best seller. God Bless him and I pray people will read Bill's work and learn what true compassion is. Well done Dear Dawn. Nancy

Thanks so much, Nancy - yep, we need more like him, that's for sure! You have to know I'm thrilled with your review - I'm so sorry to be so late responding. I'm not here nearly as much as I used to be... *sigh*

I feel a little caught. The quality of this piece is clearly worth a six. The subject causes me tear up and bow my head. I've never had anyone do this before and I am in very new territory. I can only say from the very bottom of my heart, how grateful I am to have such an esteemed colleague share this with others. You have helped me to understand that I have a legitimate place in the writing field and you have motivated me to keep writing, even though I have started counseling terminally ill children again. I am currently working with a child with severe mental deficiencies and has two life threatening illness. He doesn't understand and his parents find this to be beyond cruel. He is a medi-cal patient and they kicked him out of his bed because he was incurable.
Again, thank you for your support. Next week I will be posting a short story on how I I got started as a therapist, specializing with terminal illness.
Gosh I miss this website!

I agree - I am, and always will be sincerely humbled by the request. (I have also edited some of his pieces.) Yes, the world could surely use more like Bill... *sigh*
Much appreciated, Dallas01 - thanks very much.

Oh Dawn, for one terrible moment I thought that Bill had passed away.
I second everything you say here. He is a very special person and I also wish him every success with his publication.
Apologies for lack of reviews I spend over a week in bed with some flu virus or other, only just getting back to normal now
hugs
