Thank you for writing that Allyson, and for being there for her and her family. Thank you Polgara, Burrell, and Kristen.

Echoing this. Thank you, so much. I wish it hadn't had to be you, wish it hadn't had to be ANYONE.

I've had too many things to do today that could not be put off, and neither my brain nor my heart is in them. I want to do something to make it better, and there's nothing that possibly can.

I want to be around here more. I'm going to be around here more.

You don't...you don't think about what you're missing sometimes, and then something fucking horrible happens and you feel like...I should have been here? Which makes no goddamned sense, I know this, I'm a decently smart guy, but...

I'm right there with you, Miracleman. Even though I haven't been around here for the past couple of years, I've kept you all in my thoughts and my heart and kept up with many of you through FB. This community has been in my life for 15-ish years. It's part of me. And ita is the heart of it. (can't change that verb tense, no sir)

Allyson, Burrell, Kristen and Polgara - thank you for doing the most difficult things. i am so sorry that you had to.

This.

Allyson, I don't have the words to say how much it means to have that story from you. It means the most. It was full of heart.

I do love this place. It has changed a lot and people have come and gone, but it is a great place. I love us.

Anne, I think it absolutely would.

Allyson, what Kiba said.

Thanks to Allyson for...everything. I am so sorry for you, and Kristen, and Paula, and everyone.

Thank you Maria for posting ita's words.

I just needed to be here reading our words.

Thank you, JZ. I will do that.

Allyson, Polgara, Kristen, and Burrell, thank you so much for being with her. I’m so sorry that you had to be.

I had to skim a little because the words are causing the tears and the sadness and the day is nowhere near over but has someone notified Cass and Stephanie I?

I read and posted briefly this morning before work. I was too numb to feel then. Started silently crying at work for an hour, boss asked if I was sick when she heard a sniff and I told her. She tried to send me home immediately but I needed to feel useful for a couple more hours. And, suddenly, I was done. I’m home now and just feeling the loss. I think Stephanie I. posted at least a comment somewhere on Facebook.

Does anybody have contact info for Gudanov?

I'm - well, not glad, but relieved - to see posts from people I think would like to know what happened. I didn't ever get to mention some of the names, and now, that I'm catching up, I see some of them here. Thank you, all of you, for taking care of your friends, even the ones you're not in touch with as often as you'd like to be.

They were just putting a little Nilly into the world. :)

It feels so weird to be posting here.
