My beautiful and tough friend, Abigail Johnston, passed away from MBC yesterday. I don’t have any words right now. Melinda Welsh, wrote the following, which aptly fits my warrior friend who helped so many people with compassion and love.
“ I sometimes worry about my ability to exit life with grace and humor. What if I’m bad at suffering? I admit I can fill up with fear, but what’s the point? For counsel, I turn to my favorite philosopher, Lao Tzu: Be content with what you have/rejoice in the way things are/When you realize there is nothing lacking/the whole world belongs to you.
I understand that my infinitesimally tiny piece in all this is coming to a close. Letting go will be difficult, but death has its own clock. So I will take solace in the idea that, once gone, I may come to occupy a small space in the hearts of the people who loved me most. And perhaps from there, I will be a source of a few simple reminders: Time is limited. Life is miraculous. And we are beautiful.”
Be kind to each other out there.
Love,
Barbara and Family
She was strong nd brave. Condolences to her husband and sons. She will be missed by many.❤️
