So lovely, all of you. I loved the pink gingham accessories, and bon's baby boy is adorable and so happy.
Sophia, I said it yesterday, and then I just kind of shut up and walked away. The other person was confused, but I wasn't up to explaining it.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

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

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Thanks, Lee. No hurry, I know you've got/had a lot on your plate.

Sorry about the iTunes stress!
Yep, that's me, after several mimosas. No worries on the iTunes insanity, it turned out to be a good thing I brought the laptop, 'cause the restaurant had free wi-fi so I was able to call up the flickr ita group and run it as a slideshow during the event, which kept ita's dad enthralled for a good half hour.
Thanks again for the music! I'm afraid people probably didn't hear all of it over the talking and reminiscing, but it was still good to have, and I'm glad to have it for myself. I'll also be adding it to a thumb drive for Moji to take with her, along with your email explaining the importance of some of the selections.

Oh, I didn't expect people to sit there holding hands listening to each song. But maybe smile as they heard bits and pieces of it between the conversation. Or possibly curse at me for using certain crypoint songs.

Awww, that really makes me happy.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Thanks for posting pics, Lee. I'll try to get mine posted somewhere as well.
The one of K giving the camera person a look kinda cracked me up.
I love that one. It is so K. She chided me for not knowing how to focus my new camera because phone camera! Easy to use! Which, true, but also new.

I had the privilege of standing with ita's dad and talking about the slideshow for awhile. It was powerful and sad and I wanted to be a thousand times more articulate and comforting than I was. What an amazing family.

Because books.
I have to admit, the picture of ita's parents made me choke up. They still looked stunned.

I donated some money to Women Who Code and told them it was in memory of a friend at the request of her parents. They responded (!) and asked if I'd be willing to share ita's parent's e-mail with them so they could thank them and offer their condolences. Yay/nay?
