I will be there, Bon bon. Please let me know what I can bring.
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.
bon bon, we'll be there.
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.
I did a search for pink gingham dresses, just because, and found this one - [link] I don't know if ita would have loved it, but I can certainly picture her in it.
I was all excited for a second, Bon bon, and then realized I'll be in LA next Monday, not this one. Oh well.
Callaluna - I am so sorry. Had no idea this is this bad (I am trying to avoid news here as much as possible, other than hearing the 7:30am radio news brief and whatever comes in Twitter. It's like poison to my nerves).
If Belgium is scary, the whole world is unsafe.
I can't remember if I read it here or somewhere else - maybe in the weekend's newspaper, so apologies if I'm repeating anyone. There was this article about the awful things that happened in France that ended with "when other people's most catastrophic and violent fantasies are coming true, there is no choice but pulling [one's own] other fantasies in front of them". And I feel that this is very true. Especially with ita.
