It was a nice online event. Stories were told. Memories were shared. There was laughter, and a few tears.
Hello? Gay now!

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 wish I hadn't missed that, but yesterday turned out to be kind of a terrible day. ETA: I did write something partially about her, though. Wondered if this belongs here or Bitches, but... [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm sorry I couldn't make ita's zoom, and have been thinking about her all week, for so many reasons.

Because books.
Aw, thanks, dcp! I think she would have loved it, too.

Our wings are not tired.
Just saw Vortex’s message about Toddson and am sad. Am way behind on natter, and also on the news, so thought I’d post here. It’s really hard to get older and start losing people on an all too regular basis.

Yes, it does become a far too frequent occurrence as we age. My mom had close friends of a wide variety of ages, but when her last childhood friend passed away, in their 90s, it hit her the hardest. She said there was no longer a single person with the same lifelong memories as her. She had outlived her immediate family when she turned 42, but it wasn't until 95 that she outlived all her friends.
You'd think you get used to it, but you don't.
