Because books.
I'm making tissue paper butterflies because at least they might make her smile.

I've been holding this place and you people and Amy in my heart all day. Didn't get much done. Mostly just did this.
I love y'all. The news feels so wrong.
Edited: the news about Amy part. Not the loving you part. This feels quite right.

Friends have been asking me for ideas about how to reach out to Amy. I know it’s really hard, but don’t worry about saying the wrong thing.
My approach is this, take what works for you: I think the best support we can give her is to let her know how she’s influenced us. That her integrity and kindness and sense of humor and generosity of spirit has influenced us to be better people, better friends, better earthlings. And that she made a difference in our lives. The people I’ve known and loved recently who’ve died had one big fear - that they would be forgotten. Let Amy know she won’t be; that she’ll reside in all of us.
And memories! Lots of memories! Share your favorite anecdotes, any treasures or rituals you have that remind you of her, that sort of thing.

On another note: THANK YOU GUD for making this board work so beautifully on mobile devices! I bet many of us who haven’t posted frequently for years will be posting a lot more due to the ease.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
javachik, thank you so much for sharing everything with us, and for your huge heart. And Amy always has been, is now and always will be deeply present here.
