I will be there, Bon. I tutor until 1 but will come after if that's ok.

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's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Of course it is ok, everyone is welcome.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
I believe. Something rang the doorbell of my house in Spain on Thanksgiving evening, middle of the night, no one there at the door. Not even kids running down the road or anything. And it was a little dirt road, barely wide enough for one car. We were pretty far off the beaten path. A week later, the Red Cross contacted me to say my folks were requesting I be authorized emergency leave to go home to Wisconsin, my terminally ill brother wasn't expected to survive for more than another two weeks. So, I go home on emergency leave and when I get there, the family tells me that they almost lost Mike on Thanksgiving. Yeah, I know, he was ringing my doorbell to tell me good-bye. I believe.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
That's really lovely, Ouise. I like the thought of you singing that for ita.
Yikes, Callaluna, how scary.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I will be there, Bon bon. Please let me know what I can bring.

Part of my brain really wants ita's parents & sister to be forced to play in the backyard with Noah and Grace. By N&G(because that's how it works, take my word for it.) Because it is so joyful, if tiring. And the giggles are good for you.

Making anyone play with my kids is not fair. I always feel guilty.
I just stumbled on this one:
ita: I'm so glad I'm me, since otherwise I might have to be around me, and I suspect that might not be as much fun.
But she was wrong....she really was as much fun.

Just place them in the same room, they'll take care of the rest. And really, unless you aren't a kid person, it's a joy. They're so awesome selves.
Also, ita was so much fun and engagement.

The last time I saw ita, I had the twins with me. I felt terrible inflicting them on her because of the rambunctiousness.
