I suppose that from the birds eye view, we’re all in the process of dying.
But my sister, Bonnie, suddenly finds herself on a faster track, and we’re all scrambling to keep up with the journey.
She’s been hospitalized for a week, and I’ll just say that the news so far weighs on all of us.
But in the digital age, she can keep in touch with faraway friends via text, email, Facebook, and phone, all from her hospital bed. That’s new in human history, and a good thing, I think.
This is Bonnie and I at a much earlier stage of our life journeys, ready to leave for Holy Nativity Church one long ago Sunday morning.
Send Bonnie your prayers, if you are into such things.
Bonnie’s husband, Ray Stevens, died of lung cancer 9 years ago. Bonnie blogged about his life with cancer, and at least some of that blog survives via the Internet Archive. You might want to check it out.

Best wishes and prayers to Bonnie and everyone who loves her.
Blessings to you and Bonnie as you begin this journey together, one that you shared so poignantly with your parents years ago.
SO sorry Ian and Media. This is one of most painful losses. Hugs
May your sister find peace of mind for as long as she is still here. Hopefully, she is in a state where she’s able to reflect and appreciate on the mark she will be leaving behind on the world and with her loved ones.
Sending mental hugs and prayers for you both Ian.
Celebrate life with her while you can.
So, so sorry to hear. Best wishes all around.
