This begins on April 11, 2005. I have no idea what is going to happen.
Today is June 28, and I still don't know what is
happening here. It's a combination of personal and not-so-personal. Some say I just put it all out there. Others comment that it is LOL. Read
and hopefully enjoy!
Thanks to Writerchic for the Awardicon on WDC's 5th Birthday.
You know, I never met you. I might have reviewed something once, or you might have glanced at one of my stories.
All of a sudden, I saw people changing thier names:
"Someone_MissingVerySara"
"XMourningVerySara."
I wish I could say I missed you. I wish I could say I knew you. You were obviously an enormous presence on writing.com. This is more for myself then you, I guess. I don't believe in an afterlife. Or ghosts. Or even god. *Sigh*. Writing is the way I deal with anything, I guess.
You know, your death caused writing.com to be more real to me. Before that, it was just a bunch of robots on the other side of the computers. I realize now how very real this community is. Thanks for that. I will always remember you. Even if I never knew you.
This has been an unusual way to get to know you--but I guess not that much more unusual than when I read something written by my maternal great-grandma (who was also a writer and who passed away almost 24 years before I was born) or a letter written by her daughter (my grandma, who passed away almost a decade before my birth). Or countless other people--even people who have been executed (e.g. Velma Barfield) whose book I read almost 20 years after she had been murdered to show that murdering people is wrong. I don't even know what took you yet--even though I wonder if you might have simply worn yourself out. Right now, you're resting with the angels, and, someday, I'll get to meet you!
I've decided to post now Sara to say that the last entry you made in this blog was on my birthday. We spoke about death only a month ago, and it ended with peaceful thoughts.
I believe you are now at peace and continuing your good work with the angels. This was another point we wholeheartedly agreed on... angels on earth and where you are now!
I'm celebrating your life by being thankful that we got to know each other and shared special moments together. You'll always remain alive in my thoughts and heart Sara!
Somewhere I traded something for something and I don't really remember when or where ... or anyone warning me that I was at a fork in the road and I better make a consious decision. ...
I read the last entry in your blog... You said that you were afraid that something would happen and you would not know, regarding others ~ did you have a sense of your own mortality?
I know I can be clueless, I am a man afterall, but I didn't even realize you had a BLOG. I wonder how many other friends have blogs that I'm unaware of. At any rate, thanks for the smiles VS. You will forever find a place in my heart for your kindness.
I can't find a guestbook - so this will have to do...
I just found a piece in your port that is advertising my exhibition - I had no idea you created one....so you can imagine my surprise. It was just like you - sweet, generous and humble...
We need the news though, even if it is distressing. I'd hate not to know what's going on.
I've offered reviews as auction prizes and always fulfilled my obligation - to my knowledge. But I've never won something, so can't say I've ever been let down. I'm sure the auction holder would get on to it if he/she knew you still had not received a prize.
Also, don't you know who is supposed to be giving the reviews? Why not e-mail them direct?
Lists! I just hope you don't lose them, like I would.
I am happy to say that I have always gotten the reviews I bid for and won. Maybe because my port was not all that full, as I haven't bid for quite awhile, just giving away points when I review or want to do something nice.
Trust me, you'll know if something happens soon enough, it's tough to escape BAD news. I keep hoping for a channel which is just nice news, sigh.
