Right? It's a gut punch.
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.
She would especially have a lot of thoughts about this one.
I miss her.
Feeling the same.
Who knew not being up-to-date on the Voting thread would hurt so much. Skimming to catch up, and there she is.
Ye gods. I knew I would not be the only one to feel this way but yeah... Gut punch.
Especially THIS discussion.
I can just imagine what she would say and somehow feel I should vote 'the ita way' out of principle.
But then I think about how she would react to that kind of sentimentality and, well, get a little frustrated because I just want her to be able to vote her own damn way.
The 5K I did was superhero-themed, and virtually everyone wore some kind of superhero shirt/costume. The gallery of photos is up today, and what I didn't see Saturday was a woman dressed in a fairly kickass Storm costume. And I'm really glad I didn't see her Saturday, because I think I would have cried too hard to actually walk.
I really felt it right before I "nannyed" and asked about official seconds and opening the thread. I actually waited quite a bit because I was so sad. But then I thought that that was sort of my role in the whole voting procedure and I shouldn't shirk, even if ita wasn't here to play her role. And then I cried a bit.
I was just at a play with a friend, and we were gently snarking on audience members and the question of who can pull off a really short cut and who can't. Then I started crying.
Damn it.
