Today
Today, in what seem to be the most unbelievable of circumstances, simply because it was, literally, unthinkable, a wonderful husband has lost a wonderful wife, a beautiful son has lost his beautiful mother, and a huge circle of friends has lost one of its brightest lights.
Lots of us are going to be raw, many of us deeply so, for a long while, but our love and care will, I hope, hold both those left behind close for many years to come.
Many knew euphuistica much more closely than I, but she's seemed a part of oh just everything, for ever. Sparkle, and verve personified. Someone I met, and felt immediately comfortable with, as we bonded over Gaming Gripes. That she is no longer here seems like something unreal.
Those of you who know jhaelan and euphuistica will know what I mean when I say one of ours needs us, and so help us, we will be there, to try and hold together someone who is a part of our extended family.
I have no idea what it is that I can do, but whatever that turns out to be, I will do it with immense love, and immense pride in the people I care for.
