Helmut Schmidt in serious condition!

Former chancellor Helmut Schmidt (96) is in a very serious physical condition. He is the most respected, most popular person in Germany, an icon of integrity!

It's too much to hope that, at 96 and with a 35 year old pacemaker, this crisis isn't likely to be his final one. I just hope his exit is a peaceful one bathed in love.

He was an excellent piano player and he loved Bach more than anything else. "Since I cannot play piano anymore", he said some years ago due to disfunctions in his hands, "life is not pretty much worth living anymore".

RIP, sir.
