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.

I really enjoyed being her Secret Santa.
I thought I posted yesterday...hmmm...must not have hit post. I was thinking about Ouise a lot yesterday. It would have been her 50th.
The last time I saw her was about a month before she died, and it was hard for her to speak for long without needing to stop and take a breath. But she was still taking singing lessons! And that day she asked Anita and I to wait while she had her lesson. And through the door we could hear this strong, steady voice singing in Italian. It was truly the most amazing thing.

What a lovely memory.
That is beautiful, Sue.
This is a very odd remembrance, but many years ago I used to count the Buffistas votes. I set up google rules to put the yes votes in a tag, the no votes in a tag etc. I am trying to clean out my google email because it is just unmanageable so I anm going through tags and deleting, and I have one vote from Connie Neil left in my “Y” tag. And I cannot bring myself to delete it. She voted Y to the gaming thread on April 21 2008.

I get it. I come across comments in my FB history posts from Connie, DXM and Ginger. Always a bittersweet moment. But not unwelcome.
I’ve come to love those moments
I was reminded of ita this weekend - there was an article about a woman who'd wanted her hair cut really short and most women's salons couldn't manage it. She tried barbers but some of them wouldn't cut it short enough and at all barber shops she had to endure comments from the barbers and other customers. So she started her own business - which is doing well - called Lady Clippers. All women, both customers and hair cutters.
