I'm happy I told you how much you did for me and others when I had the chance. I'm happy for the wisdom you gave me. You aren't there anymore and in a just world you would be.

The world is poorer today because you aren't in it anymore Erin @GilmerHealthLaw.

For those who don't know about Erin, she is a stone at the very foundation of the #insulin4all movement, and the modern #disability movement. Her blog is still a treasure trove of information and thoughts and strategy - I hope a book gets made healthasahumanright.wordpress.com/about/

I don't even remember how we got talking at first but for years Erin was there to bounce strategy off of, analyze bills, discuss tactics. Whatever small progress we've made, Erin helped make it happen. I always enjoyed our talks - not just about health or politics.
