I didn't know. I had noticed, this last month when I've tried to be here, that I hadn't seen a post from her, but thought that, like many of us, she had simply wandered off.
She was only a year older than me, and I mean to live another 20, so it's just as hard to accept as the loss, a few years ago, of
slipperieslope, who I had been planning on visiting that summer.
One by one we pass on, the world turns, and our children take the helm. But it's so hard to let go of the good things past.
