And I think for sherrold, as well. That was what I was hoping for.
I'm glad the apartment clearing isn't as difficult as had been expected.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

ita's thread
A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I found an ankh for you, Jilli.

Just tried to like Allyson's post.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
hope someone will make good use of her beautiful clothes. That's another weird thought I keep having.
Yeah. Me, too. Also about her and I searching for the perfect lace-up boots for what seemed like HOURS. I still have a couple of pairs of shoes she gave me.

The combined education of the people in her apartment should be enough to power the large hadron collider for a year.

Herding cats for fun
We had so many conversations about Octavia Butler, and she was the only person I'd met that really dug the hell out of her.
Oh dear. I'd been thinking ita has reminded me of OEB: a brilliant and fierce black woman with head trauma passing far too soon, leaving me bereft of so many words I wanted to read... Of course she'd read those books.
Wish I could bring boxes and help pack. I am sure everyone will so appreciate getting mementos from her estate.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I love the idea of some of ita's more valuable items going toward the charity.

I keep going over to where WtVPPLtL sits on my shelf, and opening it up to random pages, ita hunting. Sometimes I cry, but mostly I am so grateful that Allyson took the time to document the growth of this place, and its builders.
