Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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.

This made me think of ita ... I think she'd have appreciated it.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Toddson, I almost want that for a tatoo.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Well, THIS song just tore me in half.
Debetesse and Maria both know it - it's Frank Turner's Long Live the Queen

Our wings are not tired.
Well damn. It is finally sinking in. I think my heart and brain had not met over this and finally my heart has learned the news.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I just threadsucked a whole bunch because I'd mainlined a show and wondered what we'd said. Yeah, ita said something. There were a lot of threads and places that she and I didn't share, so I think even here I will always sometimes go into the past and find new words from her. Very bittersweet.

On Sunday night, a coworker thanked me for introducing her to the term "chosen family". She lost her brother last summer (he had had a successful heart transplant in his youth), then was out of work due to two surgeries and a heart attack and only came back in January. I had kept my sorrow to myself at work, though I was fairly bursting with it. But coworker does the overnight shifts, and people are in bed when she gets there. So she was the only person I could have a deep, vulnerable conversation with. It started when she mentioned staying in contact with the family of the person whose heart her brother received - how they became like family. She was the only person I felt I could tell about ita. In explaining this place, I used the phrase. In turn, she used it to comfort a dear friend who gets very little support from her blood relatives and was feeling alone in the world.
