Today I got up as usual and logged onto my blog pages to approve any new messages and I find this one: >Bon wrote: >"Well-- I don't agree that this refers to sisters. ...

The sister process cannot possibly exclude the mom and the dad. >Good work Gina.... for an Iluuminist. > (Bon) 6:26 AM" At first I thought this might have been some mean-spirited unknown person, but I looked around at it appears that it is actually a fellow cryonic (or at least cryonics) interested person from this the cryonet list! The animation "The Gift" was a heartfelt animation about my sister Julie who died on tomorrows date in 83. Yes it is about sisters, about me and my sister. I'm a little surprised that I have to explain this, but the gift, was her very presence, and that we she died, even though she is physically gone, the memories I have of her live on. The meaning is described at my webpage. I'm very upset that you call this "cunning" and "illuminist" (sp), I don't understand at all why you would say this. And what are you asking me about my mother? I don't understand that either. Where was she? She was there with me and my family. And yes I did call my mom before I posted my animation to the list, the whole time I was making it I kept thinking to myself I couldn't wait to hear her response, and I wanted to hear her reaction first. It wasn't a "touch", it's just the truth.It's unbelievable to me that someone could speak this way about the loss that my family and I have gone through. I haven't approved your message to my blog either, because honestly I just don't know what to do about it. I'm so upset by this Bon.
