Willow ,'Storyteller'
A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.
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.
Aw, geeze. My chin keeps going all wibbly when I come in this thread.
The combined education of the people in her apartment should be enough to power the large hadron collider for a year.
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.
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.
WOW!
I was this close to making it through the week without crying at work too.
yeah.
