I feel the loss of Rick so deeply and it has made me want to reach out to others even more. If you are a person with PD, don't shut yourself off from the world...you need people more than ever and sharing with others with PD is so valuable...both for moral support and informationm that may make your journey more pleasant. Get hooked into a local support group or at least have a friend with PD that will buddy with you and watch for signs or symptoms that you don't even notice....changes of ability, behavior, memory....don't be afraid to ask for help and reach out to others. Remember, you may be the one needed in the support group or friendship that is the stronger person need for the encouragement of the rest.....be there for others...remember Rick always.
