This is in loving memory of my dad, who passed away on January 12, 2009. 75 years old.
He had been diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). More specifically, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is defined as a distinctive type of chronic fibrosing interstitial pneumonia of unknown cause associated with a histological pattern of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP).
Usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) is a disease in which the lungs get scarred. Since the lungs need to be spongy and air-filled to work properly, they cannot function well if they turn into scar tissue. They are unable to pass the oxygen to the blood. Most of the time, the reason for the scarring is unknown.
There is currently no consensus on the treatment of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Hence, none of what follows should be taken as specific advice regarding therapy, as the latter is a decision that must be made on a case-by-case basis in individual patients.
There is no effective treatment at the present time.
On the evening of January 9 he began to get ill and during the weekend it got worse. Sunday evening he was hospitalized. I was 5 minutes away from the hospital when the news about his death reached me - by phone.

I guess that explains your long absence, my deepest condolence on the grave loss.
My condolences on your dad’s passing. It has special meaning for me. At age 77 I’m being treated for macular blindness, which is working with new miracle drugs. But one does wonder just when leaving is what is next. We do tend to live like it will never end, and despite belief in God and everlasting life, that is another thing. It is now a time of remembering all the good days with your dad.
Øv, træls, sur røv og mange andre ord dækker ikke rigtigt…
SÃ¥ kondolencer til dig og din familie!
Jeppe

Hi, I’m a recording engineer and guitarist, about to set up a simple website for myself. I came across your microphone photo and although I know almost nothing about photography, I was stunned! And by the beautiful shot of the Gretsch guitar.
Trying to represent myself on my website as both a recording engineer and a guitar-player, do you have a shot of a mic with perhaps a guitar in the background? Or is there a source for a photo like this. What would it cost me to use a photo of yours on my website? Thanks, Tony Harris (UK)
So sorry to read this… My thoughts for him and all my sympathy to ou and your family.
My deepest condolences, that must have been really hard on you. This photo is very nice and honoring.

My mother was 44 years old and had idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. She passed away Sept.22.2011. I watched her suffer for many years, but God granted me the time that’s I could not barter. She watched me grow up and fulfill her dream of seeing me get married. After that she shortly went down hill. She passed away at 3am just me and her alone. I think the way she wanted it. Me and her always together and always by each others side. Only regret I have is it ended to soon. If you ever want to talk I’m here. My dearest condolences to you. I know your pain. God bless- talita
