And when death finds me ...

And when death finds me, I hope it whispers, come now, the fight is done, and takes my hand gently like an old friend who understands why I'm so tired. I hope it says, you've carried enough, let me hold this weight for you. I hope it promises, here there is quiet, here you can rest.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
