A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.
Nilly = love. It's always good to see you here.
I see things all of the time that I would have wanted to tell ita about. I know that she would love how many of us she has inspired to be fiercer, to try more things, to emulate her incredible spirit.
THIS. I talk to her sometimes. The only thing I still can't bring myself to do is read our old emails. For a while, we're emailing several times a day, daily. I just can't imagine when I'll be able to read those.
I just hate that the last time I had the opportunity to see her, when I was in LA, she wasn't feeling well. I told her that I didn't care, that I would be happy to see her for five minutes and give her a hug. She said no, and I let it go and thought I would see her next time, because I understood what it is like to know that your tribe sees you as a strong person, so you never want to be seen at less than your best, but I regret it so much.
Aww, Nilly.
Vortex, I get that. Obviously, I didn't have that situation with ita, but I've been through that next time and not pushing it regret. It sucks.
Thank you so much for sharing that story, Nilly.
Nilly, that's a beautiful story.
sniff.
Super lovely.
I do think ita would have approved of this twitter thread: [link]
Nilly, that was just lovely. You told it so well.
I hate this time of year. It's suffused with loss for me, and all I can do is hold my breath until after President's Day. It's not rational, but it's real.

Mmmm. Let's objectify alla that.

well, that was a pleasant half hour interlude.
That's a lot of hair. And pretty.
