Strix, I had a similar moment in line at the post office a few days ago. An older woman who looked like ita might've at around 60-ish. Made me so sad and angry that she won't be here to see 60-ish.
Also, I'm sorry for your family's loss. 2015 is sure off to a shit start.
I've notice people posting a lot about tea lately and the proper way to brew it, etc in honor of ita. So, I thought I would post this link here for anyone that is interested.
Y'all just made me refill my tea. Without me realizing it. I was reading, got up, got tea, came back and realized sj made me get tea.
I'm in Salt Lake for my monthly meetings and my PM asked me something about last week and it had to do, indirectly, with me taking last Tuesday off. In trying to explain without explaining, I almost burst into tears.

Today I had to answer an email without saying, "I'm sorry for the delayed response, but unfortunately for you, you sent your email on the day I found out my friend died."
I've been simply avoided explaining to anyone who saw or heard me cry.
The google hangout was a bit of a struggle getting connected...since I'm totally inept with such things...and I did not have much to say, but honestly, seeing faces and hearing voices made a huge difference for me.
So grateful that happened.
I started sniffling when I opened a NY Times food e-mail and it had a recipe for Montreal bagels.
Tonight was a new Supernatural. Which she won't get to see. That's all I could think when the commercials came on.
The past few days, I've stopped crying, but I still feel like I've been punched in the heart.
I thought about her when I saw there was a new episode of Supernatural, too. Dammit.

This is the kind of thing that makes my breath still for a moment.
It's okay. ita lives in the internet now; she can stream it.
