It would at least give them the chance to say goodbye.<br /><br />I know in my own experience when my dad had cancer, we had never grown closer as a family than those weeks just before his death.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-23061484546268698422013-09-10T04:08:54.757-05:002013-09-10T04:08:54.757-05:00I was so sad when I read about her death yesterday...I was so sad when I read about her death yesterday. <br /><br />Wow, it must have been so brave of her to write that post...Misha Gerrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06364173848456424521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-41015856153604725762013-09-10T03:27:16.752-05:002013-09-10T03:27:16.752-05:00Yes, I've been reading Author Beware for a whi...Yes, I've been reading Author Beware for a while.

I thought about attending the first year, but it was rather expensive and at the time I didn't even know who she was (later on I realized she was behind this blog I follow - Writer Beware)! I didn't even realize she wasn't there this year since I wasn't looking for classes. It was quite a shocker to me.<br />Stacy McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898731847653710759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3023439581304993308.post-16611041981480161402013-09-09T07:55:36.363-05:002013-09-09T07:55:36.363-05:00I'm sorry to hear this.
