Status of JD and StoryStar
Born 1950, U, from Arlington, TX, United States
JD has not been well and has been unable to get to her computer to manage things. This will likely continue for several weeks, but StoryStar can continue on autopilot just fine until she gets better.
We can all continue to post, read and comment on stories until her return. She will get back to picking stories of the day and week as soon as she can.
Until then, it would be really helpful if everyone would send prayaers and good thoughts as she recovers.
Thanks.

01/08/2026I have not heard from JD for over a week, but the last I did hear was not good. She was going into the hospital because of the pain and that the nausea meant that she could not keep anything down.
We can all continue to pray.

12/14/2025Oh JD, my heart breaks for you...and I can only hope the Hospice folks are keeping you as pain free as possible. Julie, you have touche so many thousands of people. Your StoryStar legacy is going to be one of Love, Grit, and Kindness...and you gave a platform to so many of us who just wanted to write.
You will get prayers from all over the world...and we all THANK YOU.
I want your last days to be pain free, and with some time to think about how wonderful of a gift your life has been for those of us lucky enough to have communicated with you.
Peace Julie.
Smiles, but very wry and sad ones...Kevin

12/24/2025Thank u for your kind words and wishes, Kevin. i'm not ready to go yet because i have too many things to get done first. I'm getting regular fluid infusions right now which are just barely keepin me alive. i'm hoping they will start working better soon as I continue. Other than a miracle that's my only recourse right now and hospice will not allow this treatment, so i'm not using it till absolutely necessary. You know you have always been one of Storystar's brightest shining stars and it is a much better site because of your many wonderful contributions over the years. THANK YOU KEVIN! MERRY CHISTMAS TO YOU AND YOURS....

12/14/2025To be blunt, I am dying from cancer. I fell an injured by back 2 plus weeks ago and have been in the hospital ever since, till now. Just got access to my computer/Storystar a couple hours ago and am in the process of transferring operations to Denise so she may continue it in my absense....
