I've seen almost this identical comment many times on Billy's videos. There sure is something about his unique talent that taps into the part of all of us that might need to be filled at a particular moment. Not sure what it is. Glad you're feeling better. I know it can be hard to remember at times but the best way to remember someone you're missing is to live your best life in their honor. In a way that would make them smile if they are in fact able to look down on you from wherever your soul goes when we depart this rock.
