Angel ,'Shells'
A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.
We've collected just under 7k for ita's family.
The money will be used to pay for their lodging and misc. travel and funeral expenses, memorial brunch, and obituary.
We're going to pack up her apartment this weekend.
The family would like to start a scholarship fund in her name in Jamaica, where education $$ will go a long way.
Just let us know if you need more, Allyson. I would like to donate more for a scholarship fund- I love the idea of it being in Jamaica
You have very, very pretty hair.
Your hair is so very pretty, Allyson. Much love to everyone doing these tasks this weekend, necessary but so hard and so unfair.
I'm unsure how to get in touch with Odeck with scholarship info once they set it up. Hec or PolterCow have accounts, yes?
I'm sorry if I've asked before. I think I remember, but then, it's just a sea of static between my ears.
I used to be smart and resourceful. Remember that?
You will be again. That you're even remotely functional right now is testament to the fact that you're clearly made of titanium with an adamantium core, because most mere humans would have fallen completely apart by now, with ugly hair to boot.
Hec, P-C and Strix all have accounts and I think at least two of them are IRL friends with two of the i09 editors, so any specifics you post here and say, "Get it to i09 and the O-Deck," they can take care of it and it's off your plate.
I would also like to make another donation to the scholarship account once it has been started.
Allyson, your hair is very shiny.
Excellent.
I used to be smart and resourceful. Remember that?
You still are both of those things! Smart enough to ask, and resourceful enough to know who.
Thank you, Jesse. I think I need a self-worth refill.
Seeing her parents tomorrow is going to break me, I'm afraid.
I'm still grey, but Allyson, smart and resourceful does not mean doing it all yourself. It's realizing when to delegate so you don't burn out.
As for breaking or not breaking, and putting ourselves back together, I would just like to remind everyone of this:
"When you can't run, you crawl. And when you can't crawl, when you can't do that ... you find someone to carry you."
I don't think any of us are tired yet.
