      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?

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

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

                        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....
