The legend ” Mohamad Ali ” died in the hospital two days ago due to respiratory complications aggravated by his long standing Parkinson’s deseas.
He passed away at the age of 74 after 34 year struggle with his progressive neurological complications.
His passing is a saddening news for all the people who wiew him as a champion in and out side the boxing ring.
He was an upstanding infividual who stood up for his belief and principle all his life.
He was a sport icon and he will be for years to come.
He may have left this world but his memory lives on for good!!!
My thoughts and prayers with his family.
Pete

Hi,
Thank you Dan for your regular and useful information but and for that that poppies are more a British thing,
that on Memorial Day people wear a poppy,… poppies made out of ceramic…
Thank you.
Hi,
Dear Zgueb Yosra,… a new and interesting blog friend!

Thank you.
Hi,
Dear Emiliano, I am reading with pleasure your thoughts from “WAKE UP”.
I have to read it again. I like it very much.
“World is not what we desire to be, and we can’t control everything in our life or
even life of the persons we love.”
“… knowing that life is a daily struggle.”
“I admire your respect you have to your flag, your fallen soldiers, your hymn and homeland.”
Best wishes,
Tania
