Not even Michael J. Fox knew Robin Williams had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.

Fox, who’s become the public face of the disease, took to Twitter on Thursday after it had been revealed that Williams was struggling with the early stages of Parkinson’s. Williams, who had been open about his issues with depression and addiction, was found dead on Monday after hanging himself in his northern California home.

Williams was a philanthropist who gave his time to numerous organizations such as the USO and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. He also supported The Michael J. Fox Foundation. The two friends — who both got their start on TV sitcoms (Mork and Mindy for Williams and Family Ties for Fox) — were photographed together (see photo above) at a 2004 benefit for Parkinson’s research.

Williams’s widow, Susan Schneider, broke the surprising news about her late husband in a statement on Thursday. She also addressed claims that Williams, who dealt with drug and alcohol addiction for decades, was using again in his final days.

“Robin’s sobriety was intact and he was brave as he struggled with his own battles of depression, anxiety as well as early stages of Parkinson’s disease, which he was not yet ready to share publicly,” Schneider said. “It is our hope in the wake of Robin’s tragic passing, that others will find the strength to seek the care and support they need to treat whatever battles they are facing so they may feel less afraid.”

Fox, 53, stayed silent about his 1991 Parkinson’s diagnosis for seven years before speaking about it publicly. Last September, he described the tough period that followed.

“My first reaction to [the diagnosis] was to start drinking heavily,” he told Howard Stern on Stern’s Sirius XM Radio show. “I used to drink to party, but now I was drinking alone and … every day. Once I did that it was then about a year of like a knife fight in a closet, where I just didn’t have my tools to deal with it.”

Fox credited his wife, Tracy Pollan, as well as therapy and Alcoholic’s Anonymous with helping him through. He went on to found his nonprofit, which the New York Times has described as “the most credible voice on Parkinson’s research in the world,” in 2000.

Be compassionate. Not every human being is as empowered or as privileged as you may be, people with lesser attributes or lesser privileges are not lesser human beings. They may be children of lesser gods or victims of circumstances. Show compassion, treat them as your equals, and try in your own way to elevate them physically, mentally and spiritually.

Forgiveness is not only a virtue, but also an act that creates remorse & makes a better person of the person forgiven. It also wins you a friend.

Spread love large heartedly. Spare no one human beings, animals, nature and innate things. Reciprocation will start sooner or later from all living things and ultimately you will end up winning hearts. ~wikiHow

“Missing you” are words generally said to a beloved or a friend who is lives quite away and is separated by distance. Distance brings about physical separation but mentally, the two people are so connected that they tend to miss each other, even when separated by distance. Even when you are miles away from your beloved, your heart won’t stop beating for him or her and missing him or her is natural if you are truly serious about the person and have deep-rooted feelings for him or her. It is genuine that when your object of affection or significant other is away from you, you will long to meet them. Expressing your genuine feelings and saying that “I am missing you” can be a great way of expressing your love and concern for the other person and giving yourself solace. But don’t make the other person weak by constantly uttering the same.

When I dont see you, I dont miss you , I just place my hand
over my heart and its there I will find you, because even
though you are out of my sight , you will never be out of my heart.

THUNDER BAY – LIVING -The wildfire season in Northern Ontario has been far less severe than usual this summer. That is not however the case in British Columbia, or Alberta where hundreds of Ontario firefighters have been deployed to assist in fighting fires in those regions. “As we have seen already this year, wildfires are a real threat and pose significant danger to many communities in Western Canada,” said Bill Adams, Vice-President, Western and Pacific, from the Insurance Bureau of Canada. “Wildfires move fast, can change direction unexpectedly and are often difficult to contain. The unpredictable nature of such events highlights the threat to homeowners and why it is vital to minimize risk and be prepared.”

The dangers of wildfires might not seem all that critical in major urban centres, but as witnessed a few years ago in Australia, Slave Lake, and in California, wildfire can easily destroy homes and property as well as forests.

Severe weather is on the rise in Canada. According to an IBC-commissioned report by Dr. Gordon McBean – one of Canada’s foremost climatologists – the occurrence of wildfire activity is projected to increase, especially in Alberta and British Columbia. As noted in the report, it is possible that wildfires in British Columbia could increase by 50% or more in the period to 2050. These predictions make it even more critical to know how best to prepare your family and property for a wildfire.

IBC Top 10: Wildfire Safety and Prevention Tips

1. Stay informed about the weather – weather forecasts are vital to being prepared for a potential wildfire;
2. Pay attention to fire danger ratings – take note of and obey fire prohibitions and restrictions to know the likelihood of, and prevent wildfire igniting in your region. Check local government’s website for more information;
3. Install and regularly check smoke detectors – remove dust, replace batteries when the clocks change in spring and fall, test regularly and replace at least every 10 years;
4. Create an emergency preparedness plan for your family – develop a fire evacuation plan, practise executing that plan and stick to it in an emergency;
5. Properly store flammable materials – store gasoline, solvents, waste or other materials that may ignite at least 10 metres away from your home;
6. Remove dry leaves and debris – keep leaves, other dry materials and potentially flammable garbage away from the exterior of the house, especially if you have wood or vinyl siding.
7. Manage space around your home – remove combustible material such as shrubs, trees and woodpiles within 10 metres of your home;
8. Prepare your home – check that your home’s roof, its exterior walls and undersides of balconies are treated with flame-resistant materials;
9. Prepare and update a home inventory – make a list of what you own, including the value of each item, take photos or video and update the list regularly;
10. Assemble a disaster safety kit – prepare a basic kit of food, water and other necessities that will last at least 72 hours in an emergency.
