Hi, I hope you don't mind me commenting to you on here. I've been an LJ friend of Cara's for probably 11 or 12 years, and I felt as if I knew her due to how candidly and openly she wrote about most things in her life. I randomly found out about her accident just the other day-- I'd wondered why she hadn't posted anything in so long although LJ is quite the wasteland lately-- and I wanted to tell you how very sorry I am and how sad I feel when I think about it. I always got a kick out of how she could find dark humor in just about anything, even when she was writing about something awful, and the way you all interacted on her journal often made me smile. It was clear that all her siblings meant the world to her even when you guys were aggravated with each other. :)
Thanks. It's always good to hear the voice of another person who saw at least a little part of her and could see how special she was. My attitude is that if I am to remember her, I have to bring as much positivity and love into the world as I possibly can. I have a collage of photos of her on my wall that I look at every day. Recently I've been making myself look at it and push past the feeling of loss as I see her and instead think of something good that makes me smile. She's not completely gone - she influences the world through us all.
