Random Love (anti-rants)

I like this persons humour:

[endo]

I have a Parkinson's patient, just a few years older than me. A total film nerd, like me. Every time he comes to see me, we chat about old movies. In the 90s, he was a big name in marketing at Warner Germany.

He knows about my love for Robin Williams, and once he commented on the photo of Oliver Sacks I have hanging in my office, and we talked about 'The Man Who Mistook His Wife...' and 'Awakenings'.

Last week he came by and said he wanted to give me something, and that I should accept it because he had two of it. Otherwise, he wouldn't have given it to me. It was an original poster of 'Awakenings' (German version) from 1990. And it's signed by Robin Williams!!!

I almost had tears in my eyes. Now the framed poster hangs in my living room.

Sorry for all the reflections, but I couldn't do better.

Is it OK for me to have tears in my eyes?

[Mizmazzle]

I think my allergies are flaring up!!

wow. that is amazing!

[ROman]

@endo What a beautiful gift.

[IrishHeart]

@endo that’s a fantastic story and speaks volumes for the empathy you have and relationships you have developed with your patients. Really heartwarming.

[AdamC]

@endo absolutely amazing, and agree with @IrishHeart - you must be giving so much more to this patient than you know

[goosehd]

Little things:

Love you all ️

Wishing all of you the happiest of holidays!

Nothing new or original, but @Jord's remark about the super fast shipping reinforced my conviction on what makes Iron Heart so amazing. The quality of the clothing is fantastic, the fabrics, the attention to detail, but what makes Iron Heart truly special is the incredible Iron Heart Crew and the superb customer service they deliver to us. Thanks guys and much love to all of you! Here's hoping for a beer or two at an event in the not too distant future (Hamburg, )

Agreed. My $600 North Face jacket has been sitting in Sacramento, CA for 7 days and neither TNF nor Fed Ex seem to be concerned.

Last year in Morocco, Rob, being Rob, my mate Szymon showing you how to muscle a fish, and then giving Matt (another mate) shit for being a pussy. And lastly, @goosehd admitting that the stairs of death, really are......

Probably about 2/3's of the way up....

Not long to go now @endo - the season’s changing!

[endo]

Well, my friend, I was shovelling snow this morning. No daffodils here in sight. But only 3 more weeks until Thailand.

[ARNC]

@endo the first ones I’ve seen this year!

[mclaincausey]

Sending love and concern to Japan and those impacted by the snow.

Random love:

I’ve had shoes that I’ve worn about every day for 12+ years and was proud of, despite holes and wear.
I’ve had a warm sweatshirt that I wore whenever it was cold and was embarrassed of because it was my only one and people would make remarks and notice its wear.
And many things in between.

I can’t help but look in my closet and identify with the things I see. What stories are being told and how those stories make me feel.
Recently, I’ve begun a tradition of having my 2.5 year old son pick out my shirt for the day. He has his favorites and gets excited to see me wear certain things. For him, what I put on is part of what makes me his dad.
There’s something to be said for a closet, not a style, that you’re known for. I miss that old sweatshirt.

Thank you IH for helping me connect with my wardrobe in a meaningful way. Getting better with age is something we can all hope for.
