Last Thursday, I got information that would change my life forever. Alicia was very sick.
Alicia is my maid of honor (for my wedding and for life). Alicia is a kindred writer spirit. Alicia is my friend. And Alicia is sick.
I flew to San Francisco a few hours after finding out, still in an uncomprehending daze about the news. The news was not good.
Since then, I, like many of her amazing and numerous friends, have tried to busy myself with helping at the hospital, helping manage Alicia's Twitter feed and Facebook page, and generally trying to keep busy with tasks so I'm not left alone with time to think.
There's so much more I want to say, but I am very tired after a long night at the hospital, so I will leave you with this:
Go to msparlette.com. Read Alicia's Story in the Chronicle. Let her know how her story touched you on her Facebook page. Donate a few dollars to honor her strength and courage in her fight to help pay the medical bills that mount with each passing hour. Follow her on Twitter for updates. Send out a prayer, good thought, or peaceful energy to her.
Then tell your friends to do the same.
