As Alice Roosevelt Longworth said, if you've got anything bad to say, sit next to me! No, really, please remember to be kind, and don't say anything fred's mother would not approve of (Diner's mom didn't approve of anything. Including fred.)

Oh love, how beautiful you are.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely Fred. I too have found her blog highly entertaining, and sad, and full of love, anger and courage. Beautiful tribute.
ReplyDeleteThat is the perfect poem for her. Her light is so very very bright: I cannot imagine it ever dimming.
ReplyDeleteLovely Fred.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful and perfect for Ellie. She is everything you describe and writes so well it's as though she is sitting down speaking with her readers. As Jen said, her light is so bright. Thanks for this Fred XO
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful poem. Fred. The outcome here, as you know , is cruelly inevitable. During the decades of my career, I've had many opportunities to wonder, as you have, how I would react to impending demise. Some people show the way.
ReplyDeleteThat is so powerful, and so fitting.
ReplyDeleteWhere fitting words are impossible to find you managed to do it. Beautiful and powerful. Ellie's blog is a lesson in living .
ReplyDeleteI wasn't aware of Ellie's blog but have some understanding as it was this disease (MND in the UK) that my father suffered from. We were so lucky that the progression of the disease was slow so he lived for 16 years after diagnosis. My dad coped with it amazingly - never complaining and, through his art, tried to stay positive. But it was so hard, especially for my mum. Bloody awful disease.
ReplyDeletePerfect and so sad. You are a good bloggy friend to have
