I edited my post to clarify that today is the day ita was born into this world, and for this we are grateful.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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 miss them both, sometimes unexpectedly with a pang, and sometimes with a fond smile. I'm glad I knew them here, and had the chance to meet Ed. It's a lingering regret I never got to meet ita.

I did not know non-board ita well. We met 3 times. My IRL impression of her was as a far warmer, and much shyer person. Then again, in person she gave me hugs and encouragement, while on the board I might be challenged sharply. I miss both!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

ita was all of those things, in my experience. Damn, I miss her.

I guess today is the 9th anniversary. Much as I hate FB sometimes, it does keep me connected to dates when I seldom do better than time of year, maybe. Seems so long and so short, all at once.

Yes, I calendar and celebrate birth dates, but FB brings back the days I want to forget.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It can be a jolt when those memories start popping up, but on the whole I’m glad to have the reminders
