Maybe that was why I wanted my birthday dinner to be Jamaican. My brother might order the goat next time...if he does, I'll taste it.
'Dirty Girls'
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.
Thank you for sharing.
It really was lovely and peaceful.
Oh my, that was so lovely. Steph, flea, Hil, and the kids and all of you, have very pretty hair. Thank you so much.
Steph and Hil and flea, that was lovely, thank you so much for the pictures.
Thank you so much for doing that, Cincinnatistas. I'm sort of glad I didn't catch up here until today. It would have been my mother's 92nd birthday. So, now I have twice as much to celebrate. A little teary, but very happy, too.
We're all fragile. Even the dinosaurs bit it. What can you be in between your beginning and your end, is the question.
Teppy, was it deliberate, that you put this beautiful and truthful and heartbreaking quote right below a picture in which ita looks like such a fierce non—fragile warrior? It looked so appropriate, despite — or because — the seeming contradiction.
Thank you (and flea and Hil, of course).
Oh good grief. I can't come in here without crying. I try not to come in here but still I do. That candle ceremony was so wonderful. You're all so wonderful.
Sail, many hugs to you. I dreamed of my mom last night. So many things I wish I could talk to her about.
The lanterns are wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing that.

Of course. Because what she was between her beginning and end was wonderful.
