Her home was so comfy. And the library!!!
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I slept in her library the week of the Atlanta F2F, on an antique daybed--except for the one night I made Sail switch with me to give my back a break. Joy! And the dog. I'm so glad I got to know her. I'm so glad she found us. After her first round of chemo she told me when she didn't feel able to do anything she followed Bitches, and was warmed and heartened by the knowledge other snarky, fun people were having lives and love and silliness and sorrow and...everything. And felt the possibility she would have those things again too. And I've been so grateful she de-lurked and became One of Us for the time we had her company.

I wish Ginger could have seen the Braves win tonight.
Wish DXM could've seen the Dodgers win last year.
Wish ita could have seen Black Panther.

Memorial birthday today for our dear friend DXM. I think of Ed often and among other moments remember his kindness in offering to talk with my son about chemistry when he was considering that as a career. A warm huggy big brother.

I was missing his wisdom just the other day. (raises glass) to absent friends.

From Laura via email... remembering the wonder that was ita on her birthday today. I think of her so often, this amazing presence of a human whom I never even met in person. I'm grateful to live in a time when this place can exist and make such things possible.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
My nephew gave me one of those digital picture frames for Christmas. I've hooked up several photos full of pictures, including the ones of my trip to France with Amyth (and two Buffista spirit babies). It's a lovely experience to look over and see Amyth, and think of the trip.

That’s so nice, Calli. I’ve been struggling big time of late, for a few reasons, and I keep thinking about how graciously Amy dealt with her illness and it gives me a bit of perspective. And I miss her. I have a hoodie from when we saw THE FORCE AWAKENS in NYC, and I’ve been wearing it so much lately, just to keep her close.
