Today Sue Vincent shared what may be her last blog post. It’s so like Sue that it’s a message of hope as well as gentle regret.

Sue has given so much and so freely—to family, friends, and uncounted thousands she’s touched online. This post of loss and love is deeply personal. But it’s also universal. The world has faced loss and grief on an unprecedented scale over the past year. Sue is part of that pandemic recording. It might not be the coronavirus that ultimately beats her (a far older and even more egalitarian cancer will be credited with that victory) but it played a lead role in delaying treatment which might have bought time.

As usual, I did, but didn’t follow the ‘posting/hashtag’ rules of the game – but doesn’t matter – overall, to me – for – – – Sue was up for one more ‘back in forth’ in comments section – even though I outstayed my ‘time’ while so many others clammored for one more slice of time, from her – sigh – for better or worse, I did my ‘job’ as called for, in semblance for me, and well – I have long followed and felt connected across space/time with Sue and trust, she has forgiven me for not using a hashtag – even IF I’ve made it hard for future scholars to round up ‘all the folks’ she made an impact on – (I sometimes do my own miden heaps on this place with pennies from different years, in discordant layers as I go – just to mess with future archeologists – sigh – I do such things on purpose, and figure, Sue would laugh and help me do if ever she was here during my mulching time activities……)
