Far too many, but I like having a spot to come to when I see something or hear something that reminds me of one of our loved ones. It happens often, and we should share these moments.
On that note, I'll say that I had Ouise as my Secret Santa one year and I sent her the Edward Gorey Cardboard Dracula Theater, and I think of her every time I see it for sale at Borderland Books. And I remember the sweet remembrances of the Haligonians talking about listening to her sing at her choir even as she neared the end.
I keep having dreams of f2f gatherings with Buffistas. I miss all of you that I don’t get to see in person or online as much anymore, and I hate how many wonderful people we’ve lost.
As much as I hate this thread has to exist, I love the space to mourn, celebrate, and remember our family. I love this thread and the people that this board has brought into my life, so I can't ever be sad that we get a space to celebrate the people that mean so much to us.
I think this has to be here.

How brilliant was the Bojack Horseman with his mother's funeral?1ETA: more info. [link]
I really laughed and cried, about a talking horse. Never expected that. Or to be sitting there thinking that I like churros, but my mother doesn't. Or that I thought Becker was fine, but not much better than fine, so maybe the horsey TV star had a good eyes.
It might be like the fruitpunch speech, for parents.
I found one of ita’s old Supernatural T-shirts when I was going through a drawer at the Cabin the other day. I’m a long way from fitting into it right now, but it’s not going anywhere.
I am filling in for Laura today to mark ita's day of birth this year. Loved and missed still and always by so many people.
Sorry for ignoring ongoing conversations, but last year I was grateful to be able to participate in the lovely Zoom event that ita's sister has arranged in honor of ita. Towards the end of the Zoom event, she mentioned how she'd be interested in reading some of ita's writing from this board.
So I've gone over the old GWW threads, and collected her drabbles. She was such a wonderful writer, evoking senses and emotions in such a few words.
I've e-mailed the links to ita's sister, but I think they should also be here.
