It's clear from the article that she is dying. So are we all, although most of us don't yet have a disease or condition that makes death imminent -- at least not insofar as we know.
Ms. Ivins has been a political opponent, and a particularly strident one. However, there is far more to life than politics, and death sure as heck doesn't give a damn what politics we practice.
So I hope Ms. Irvins' final time on earth is peaceful, as pain-free as the docs can make her, and filled with the love of those closest to her.
Amen!
Is Mollie religious? Does anybody know?
