    I am presently in the care unit at Kootenai Health in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. I was given a terminal incurable diagnosis on Sunday, 28th of April, 2019. My prognosis is rather bleak, given in days and hours, instead of years or months.

    My close friends and family all know the severity of my illness. So, they are gathered about me, as have all of my thousands of internet friends, and acquaintances. I have no regrets, nor do I hold any animosities toward anyone living or dead. Just as importantly, my faith and spirits are high, and my intellect is intact. My sense of humor is fully intact too!

    Finally, as I have decided to accomplish my passing using minimalist use of any narcotic pharmaceuticals, as I've always detested mental impairment. I fully intend to pass through the veil of this earthly sphere, without a whimper, but with a song in my heart, and on my lips. I've posted no release information at the Healthcare facility. I will focus my remaining time on my family and closest of friends in the flesh at home, or through personal emails. I expect to see you all soon. So, that we shall all cruise our Universe divine, together.

    My last wish is to keep my account open for posterity! After all, I am an IB girl for life. Open heart ~ Open mind! They are keeping me alive by the use of transfusions of platelets and whole blood! For a while recently I was unable to communicate due to a myriad of Trans Ischemic Attacks (TIA's!) Yes, these were caused through my having Bone Marrow Cancer!

    Still hanging in there!

    Dear Anna,
    My heart is heavy in hearing your prognosis. I know you don't know me, but I am one of the many, many fans and admirers that have come to think of you as their friend, even when we may have never spoke, or only spoken in passing. You are one of the first to welcome us, to make us feel like we are at home. you are loved, more than you will ever see or hear, and all our prayers for you. May we finally meet in that other realm, whatever it may be. and may you reach that realm at peace, knowing you are loved, and missed.

    Anna,

    May your journey be grand!

    Say hi to my mother as she just passed on April 1st, yes April Fools day. Like her the pain of the body will be gone and the spirit can soar.

    "Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
    Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds -
    and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of -
    wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence.
    Hovering there I've chased the shouting wind along
    and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

    "Up, up the long delirious burning blue
    I've topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace,
    where never lark, or even eagle, flew;
    and, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
    the high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    put out my hand and touched the face of God."

    “A strong wind is blowing and there are little crests of foam on the waves. Look carefully at the millions of shimmering white bubbles rising and then vanishing with each wave. Over and over again, new bubbles come to the surface and then vanish in time with the waves. For a brief moment they are lifted on the wave’s crest and then they sink down and are seen no more. We are like that. Each one of us no more than a tiny glimmering thing, a sparkling droplet on the waves of time which flow past beneath us into an unknown, misty future. We leap up, look around us and, before we know it, we vanish again. We can hardly be seen in the great river of time. New drops keep rising to the surface. And what we call our fate is no more than our struggle in that multitude of droplets in the rise and fall of one wave. But we must make use of that moment. It is worth the effort.”
    ― Gombrich Ernst H

    Anna, your sparkle was more magnificent than most and the proof is all the people who you touched so positively in your time with them.

    I will miss your posts, your wit, your humor and your honesty. May your passing be a rebirth free of your ailments of this world.
