That's a wonderful story, Alibelle.
My whole life, I've never loved anything else.

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.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Hair, so pretty.
Reality, sucks so hard.

Always Anti-fascist!
If I can help, I will. I have a detached "reporter brain" that I think I can use at times like that.

Probably, I could do it just fine and have a delayed reaction and cry a lot afterwards...tends to be how I deal. Maybe you are too close to that particular task, just because of how close you guys were, Allyson. I know someday I'm going to see something on TV and say "Wonder if ita thought her accent's real. I should ask." sigh.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So by the time I got back to a computer, I sent ita an email letting her know that M was absolutely delightful, but I had my doubts that there was any relation between them.
I remember you saying something about the two of them looking alike but being completely different.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Did anyone get anywhere with coming up with a reading for/from us to be used at the funeral? If not, it occurrs to me that there have been many wonderful statements of how much we love ita here and in Natter that might - with permission of various posters - be cobbled together for that purpose. I bring this up because after having work suck my brain out for the last several days, I have today and tomorrow off, and could make a start on it if it seems like a good idea to folks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Why not just a piece of Safe Harbor From Ann Arbor?

Thrive to spite them
Windy I was thinking the same thing.
And I keep looking at the Supernatural thread name -- Family don't end with blood. It's so appropriate for ita. Maybe that can be incorporated because it not only describes the Buffistas but ita had other people who were her found family. For me, at least, I wouldn't really understand the concept of a chosen family or found family without the Buffistas. Like any large famity we are speak out and can't see each other in person as often as we'd like, but we havE reunions when we can. It's not a perfect family, but no family is. But when we need each other we are here. Even when people need support or help for their other non Buffistas families We are still here for each other.

"This is my family. I found it, all on my own. It's little, and broken, but still good. Yeah, still good."

But when we need each other we are here. Even when people need support or help for their other non Buffistas families We are still here for each other.
To my way of thinking, that is the definition of a perfect family.
