Polgara! Oh, how wonderful to see even those few little letters from you!
I've missed you, Nilly, it's great to see you too! :-)
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.

Our wings are not tired.
It’s so wonderful to see OG Buffistas making appearances. I’m always so wistful when the reason is community loss.

I know. But nobody has that big of a pool table anyway, do they?

JZ, I hope every single day we are lucky enough to still have your presence also brings you a sense of pleasure.
Yes, this!

Oh, Jacqueline, it is with unanimous consent that we shout out your bestestness. I'm sorry it's so little time, but I am glad you have a timeline. I think the unknown is scarier and harder for the known, even when the known is dreadful.
And it is dreadful. Because you are the best. (See what I did there?)

Richard Feynman's letter that he wrote to his wife after her death came across my Tumblr dash, and of course it made me think of the now, for how could it not?
I write mental letters to my dead people sometimes. They're nowhere near as eloquent or amazing as this one, but you know, I'm no Richard Feynman.
Oh, Jacqueline, it is with unanimous consent that we shout out your bestestness.
Seriously, our BSC is on point, and, in fact, doesn't even have BS. It's just a C. An A+ C.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"I don't know your new address...."
Also, resonant:
"I want to do little projects with you. I never thought until just now that we can do that. What should we do. We started to learn to make clothes together — or learn Chinese — or getting a movie projector. Can’t I do something now? No. I am alone without you and you were the “idea-woman” and general instigator of all our wild adventures."

JZ, I will echo, you are the best of us.
Also Richard Feynman is a touchstone for me and I have always loved the letter that he wrote to his wife after her death. It has been a long time since I've re-read it.
