Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Not sure how, or even if, I can post photos in here. So I'm putting them on my wall on Facebook.

How could I forget New Orleans?!

Oh, right...because it was, you know, New Orleans.

Still, though.

One of the first discussions I had here was with ita about whether Angel's death counted. We disagreed, and it was such fun to be having a conversation like the ones I'd been lurk-reading for so long - and with ita, no less. It's possible I peaked early.

Reading everyone's rememberences and thoughts has been... something indescribable.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Deb, this format doesn't allow for posting of photos. So you can post a link to your FB -- or, we don't need the link, since you just said where you were posting them.

Sorry - haven't been here in, what, five or so years. Didn't remember.

Anything I post up on FB, feel free to save and repost them elsewhere, anywhere else in fact.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Ran across this today. Sniffling now.

"If there's no great glorious end to all this, if nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do. 'Cause that's all there is. What we do. Now. Today. I fought for so long for redemption, for a reward, finally, just to beat the other guy. But I never got it.... All I want to do is help. I want to help because I don't think people should suffer as they do, because if there's no bigger meaning, then the smallest act of kindness is the greatest thing in the world."

ita kind of embodied this.

It would be great if people would also post photos on the Buffista Facebook page so they're all in one place.

Maybe someone can share them to the Buffistas FB group? I found several and shared them there earlier today (the one of ita and Andy really got me).

Chicago, DC, LA, Seattle...but it helped that I was living where two of them were!

I need hours and hours to try to properly put into words the relationship I had with such a wonderful and complicated person as ita. Instead I've been using my hours to read all the wonderful details of the relationships she had with all of you. It's time well-spent.

I'm glad, Polgara.
