Oh, wow. I’m so glad you’ll keep blogging. What you write resonates so much with me.

How you write stuns me. I think I stopped breathing just a little bit when I read this post.

(By the way, I think I’m more than a little jealous of your writing skills.)

Let’s wear our trousers rolled, and walk along the beach, and listen to the mermaids singing, and eat peaches and all that.

Bon, I LOVE this. I am so happy for you. Of course keep writing here. I would be very happy to see what this non-protagonist you sounds like. Comfort is nice. Self-assurance is nicer. Calm is the best. Well, I think.

I’m glad you’re staying.

Sometimes I think that if KayTar ever gets a diagnosis, I’ll end the blog on that note…I just don’t know if I could really part with it, though.

Wow. I can’t believe Dave turned your blog into a book – that is awesome.
And I can’t believe all the things you’ve done – modelled nude for money??
I get the ‘I’ll never be here again’ and ‘that’s okay’. It’s a good place to be I think.

I both hate and love being exactly where you are (in certain ways) Bon. I love it because you speak the things in my soul and I hate it because oh my god, do you have to do it to perfection. I want to end my blog in response to this beautiful post.

Sorry I’m so late to say – gorgeous, perceptive, incredible writing. Again.

I don’t often comment either, but am here reading every post. I’m so glad you’re not done. We have a lot in common and you just write so beautifully- it often brings me to tears.

You can’t stop writing! When I read your blog, I feel like I am doing something productive. I am reading real literature – not a diary of someone’s day.

You do make me weep. The writing of a whisper I’ve been hearing but afraid to say myself, though the whisper has haunted me for its being my own voice. Liberating and devastating. Beautiful, as ever.

Bon,

This post would indeed make a lovely coda, an ending to your writing here.

But I’m very glad that it’s not =)
