on Facebook, asking when Isaac Bonewits died.
Isaac is still alive, thankyouverymuch. He is dying, and we are giving love and care to the extent possible, and the family is gathering, and there is a lot of sorrow in my heart. We are doing what we can to prepare for the end. Phaedra and Arthur are exhausted and yet…I am so proud of my son, who is so good and kind to his father, even when he’s losing patience and his temper with this terrible situation.
And I got that message asking when he died.
I’m sorry if I’m not as kind and good as some people might be, but immediately after answering, I unfriended that person. I think people should pretty much stand up and applaud me for not also cursing her out.
Please continue to send light and peace and love to Isaac, Arthur, and Phae. Please pray that his siblings, who are on the road right now, arrive in time to say their final goodbyes.
Deborah –
I understand what you’re going through, I think. I never said I was nice, either.
However, the individual who contacted you may have read a notice posted to Wikipedia either late yesterday or early this morning, giving August 9th as the date of Isaac’s demise. This may have been corrected by now (8/10/10 9:30 PM). If not, someone needs to do so immediately.
I tend to keep a very low profile (no Facebook!) but expect to be in NY over the weekend. I would love to say goodbye myself – to someone who continues to mean a great deal to me, as I’m sure you must know. BW/B*B – Sally Eaton
Whoever took it upon themselves to update Wikipedia with this false information is monstrous beyond my imagination.
I agree, I couldn’t believe it when I got an email today. I don’t blame you for being upset and I let my displeasure be known to the person who sent me that notice as well.
And whoever posted that to wiki should be very ashamed of themselves.
My thoughts are with you and your family.
Deborah, I’m so sorry that you have to deal with that on top of an already difficult situation. I’ve seen the rumor come up on a couple of lists that I’m on and I make a point to correct it.
Anyway, blessings to all of you during this time.
