Maria, that's too much. But bless him (and his family, since they're the ones who have to agree) for donating his organs.

Could it be an imaginary story? That would be great.

Because books.
I'm so sorry, Maria. It's so unfair.
Our trivia team name was "The Firefly universe has lost a moon." I broke into tears periodically.
Oh, Ginger.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Maria, I am so sorry.
My daughter just said "wow she had a lot of people who loved her". She truly did.
She does.
askye, your post was lovely. And well said.

I'm sorry, Maria.
I forgot to eat today. That's probably... not helpful. I thought I was doing borderline functioning, powering through. Even swam ok. And now I'm mad at myself for not being and now even mentioning it because it isn't about me and I don't want to be here doing this.I'm just mad. And want to hide, but all my hiding places are filled with the thing I want to hide from.

Well, maybe it is, but...not...not ita. It's like Superman dying. It's not real, right? It's a gimmick, it's marketing, it's just to spark our interest again...
I'm waiting for the retcon.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
MM, you are so right.
Oh Maria. I'm so sorry.
I live and rely on us all so much. My sister wants you all to know you are in her thoughts.

My boss looked stricken and gave me her muffin while trying to make me leave immediately when I admitted what happened. The muffin helped. Eat something, if you can.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The "house that ita built" made me cry. It's perfect.
Yeah. In the Muslim conception of creation, God doesn't just build the universe and leave it to run. Every moment requires an ongoing, conscious act of creation to sustain it. I felt much the same way about ita and the Phoenix board. I mean, the board is here, and still running; but she was such a constant and prolific presence here, she felt like the board's sustaining spirit.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh Maria, I am so sorry! Much love and many hugs for you both. (Well, you can pass on the ones to him from me, okay?) I truly believe that organ donors are superheroes, and they leave a gift that's selfless and amazing.
