Today at the pride parade I was so happy to see my friend Jon. He was born with severe birth defects and has lived his life with the support of a wheelchair and a full time staff person. He has managed to live 30 plus years longer than any doctor had ever given his parents hope for. I could see that window is closing fast. I spent some time kneeling beside his wheelchair and I could see more pain than I remembered in his breathing. I asked him why he bothered to come out for such a silly, short parade. He looked at me and smiled and said "one more time honey, just one more time." I hope when we die we don't leave behind any "one more times" Thanks Jon |
